The Bone Factory is a venture & innovation firm, specializing in rapid development of ideas originating from Clinicians.
Entrepreneurial Orthopedists, like yourself, are in need of a better way to convert your ideas into products.
The Big Orthos will not move your new product ideas forward. They are big and slow and control freaks. They will force you to sign contracts, tease you along and put your idea in their “black hole” product development department and you may lose control of your idea. Sad but true. The Big Orthos no longer know how to innovate.
Fortunately, there is a path forward for your ideas.
At The Bone Factory, we transform your concepts into commercial products through a fast agile approach.
Why The Bone Factory?
- Speed: Faster new product development than working with orthopedic device companies.
- Expert Network: Access to startup-minded experts who have launched products in your clinical specialty.
- Honest Talk: We will tell you if “your baby is ugly”, rather than lead you on like the others.
- You are in control: You control how far to take your idea (egs: working prototype, patents, cadaver labs, mechanical testing, market testing, regulatory filing, commercialization, spin out a new company, etc.)
How it Works
When The Bone Factory takes on your product concept, we operate as true equity partners to bring your vision to life. Because we deploy a fast, agile development process tailored specifically to your idea, there may be some upfront product development expenses carried by the surgeon. However, you don’t always have to shoulder this alone—whenever possible, we leverage our network to harvest outside capital to fund the development work. In exchange for our expertise, speed, and heavy lifting, The Bone Factory takes an equity position in the venture, aligning our success entirely with yours. That’s it.
