For medical device startups, founders and small device teams

Where should your device go first, and who can get it there?

For founders and small teams planning their first markets. See where devices like yours are already registered across 30 markets, how each regulator is likely to treat yours, and who already sells similar devices there. Then run every market from one workspace, without hiring a team to do it.

  • See where comparable devices are registered, and who sells them
  • Get the likely class and route for your device in each market, labelled as an estimate
  • Find the distributors and consultants who already handle devices like yours
  • Keep every market, partner and deadline in one place as you grow

A free market snapshot for your device

Tell us what you make, even if it isn't on the market yet. Within two business days you get a one-page snapshot by email:

  • Where devices like yours are registered across our 30 markets (and where yours already is, if it is)
  • Three markets that look like a sensible next step, with the likely regulatory route in each (an estimate, and labelled as one)
  • Three distributors in one of those markets who already carry similar devices

Put together by Todd, not generated and sent blind. We use your email to send the snapshot and to follow up once, and that's all.

Two of the screens you'd actually use

Not a feature tour. These are two of the moments people tell us are worth the money.

A registrations table listing country, the registry's own registration name, the matched product name, registration number, status and approval date for each market.
Every registration you hold, in one table — with the registry's own name for a product beside yours, and the link between them written down somewhere you own.
A launch roadmap by market showing confirmed registrations with their licence counts, and planned market entries flagged where a target date has passed.
Market by market: what is approved, what is planned, and where a target date has quietly gone past without a submission.
Built for small device and IVD companies
One flat fee for your company
Free onboarding
Ongoing check-ins, not a one-time report
Where do you need to go next?

Start wherever you are

Most companies come to us with one of these four questions. Pick the one you're facing — every market answers it differently, and we work through it one market at a time.

01 · Assess

Which markets, and in what order?

Regional market assessments — size, regulatory route, what entry actually costs, and how the markets depend on each other.

Market assessments →
02 · Compare

Who is already there?

Competitor analysis for a region or a single market — who is active, how crowded your category is, and where the gaps are.

Competitor analysis →
03 · Partner

Who could sell and file for you?

Distributors and regulatory consultants worldwide — the whole field, a shortlist with reasons, and the questions to ask before you sign.

Distributor identification →
04 · Run it in the CRM

How do we manage all of it?

A CRM built for device companies — every market, every partner, every registration and every renewal in one place, with quarterly check-ins. Ready on day one, not configured from scratch.

The platform

A CRM built for device and IVD companies, ready on day one

The work lives in one place for your whole company, at one flat fee — and the objects are already the ones you use, so nobody has to turn a general-purpose CRM into a device company first.

Registrations & renewals

Every registration you hold, by market, with what is due and what is past due — and what a lapse costs you in months out of market.

Distributors & deals

Who holds your registration in each market, who else could sell for you there, and every distributor conversation from Prospect to Won.

Millions of connected data points

Registrations, licence holders, distributors, consultants and hospitals — linked across 30 markets so one search answers the whole question.

How it works

Built around your product, at your pace

We don't assume an answer — not a market you should enter, not a partner you should sign. We lay out what each option involves, and the decision stays yours.

1

Tell us what you make

Your products, the markets you're weighing, and what success looks like at this stage. Onboarding is free.

2

See your own markets

Who is registered there, what registration involves, and which distributors and consultants already handle devices like yours.

3

Compare your options

Not a generic country report — each route laid out side by side, so you can choose the order that suits your product and your cash.

4

Run it, with us alongside

Partners, registrations and renewals in one workspace, with quarterly check-ins and a person to ask when something needs a second opinion.

FAQ

Questions we get asked a lot

How do I know which market to enter first?
It depends on your product, your regulatory class, and how much runway you have — a market that's easy to enter can still be slow to pay off, and vice versa. We work through the trade-offs with you rather than hand you a single "best" answer. Ask us about your specific situation.
Can you help me find competitors and distributors in a new market?
Yes — that's a lot of what we do. Knowing who else is active and who could realistically sell for you is usually the hardest part to figure out from outside the market, and it's where we spend most of our time with clients.
Do you work with early-stage companies that don't have a product on the market yet?
Yes — we have a program built specifically for that stage, including check-ins and setup help while you get ready to expand. Ask us about it.
We're a small consultancy — do you work with teams?
Yes — talk to us. We work with consultancies regularly and can structure things around how your team actually runs engagements. Reach out at inquiries@meridiantrace.com.
We're a distributor — is there anything here for us?
Yes — we have solutions built for distributors as well. If you'd like to learn more about how we can support your side of the business, get in touch at inquiries@meridiantrace.com.
