I highly recommend Dr. Heiko Visarius as a coach for any startup, working in med-tech or health-tech areas regardless of the maturity level of the company or even project. His constant involvement in each step of the development brings a huge and so needed boost for young companies, enlarging the network and providing all available resources in the field. He usually replies in a few hours and provides the real solutions and not formal responses, which for the person, being involved into so many projects and programs, is just incredible.

Eine so super frische, offene und gleichzeitig entspannte und professionelle Moderation habe ich noch selten erlebt. Vielen Dank!

Straight to the point, shockingly honest and extremely helpful – Heiko may give your confidence whiplash by destroying your bubble of everything you have ever thought you knew but in the same time pointing out the silver lining and bringing you, your idea and in the end your business to a whole new level. Thank you, Heiko, for your inspiring presentations, very helpful inputs, which you always presented in an energetic, humorous way and spicing it up with some sarcasm on the side. You and the program *zünder were an important part of ours and our companies journey.

Heiko is a great startup coach – skilled, productive and enthusiastic. With his many years of experience in the medtech industry, he knows all the important factors that can support a medtech startup in the development phase.

We at numex are grateful that Heiko coached us within the support program of TECHNOPARK Winterthur.

I knew Dr. Heiko on the occasion of SME Instrument phase I coaching activity for my company, BionIT Labs. He gave our team relevant insights into the medtech industry and significant advices on how to approach customers, to plan a sales and marketing strategy, to consider MNCs point of view and to result appealing to them. I consider this experience of great relevance for both my professional career and the development and continuous improvement of BionIT Labs. Thanks Dr. Heiko!

Heiko also knows the tips and tricks of implementing these solutions in the medical devices sector with finesse and can direct you to key experts within his vast network for further assistance.

At GlakoLens, we were lucky to work with Heiko as part of our H2020 SME Instrument Phase I project. It was a beneficial and joyful experience to be coached by him, considering his optimistic and pleasant demeanour. I would strongly recommend Heiko’s coaching to other striving medtech startups.

His wonderful sense of humor and optimism make our meetings productive and fun, and his combined knowledge of the business of healthcare, the corporate landscape, and the international startup ecosystem continue to provide broad perspective and immense value to our team. He is the quintessential “door opener” – generous in practice and in spirit – highly recommend.

Our lead coach Heiko Visarius opened his Medtech specialist network and his Medtech experience to us which helped us to understand the wound care market and the processes involved in developing, certifying and marketing a medical device in general. His connections enabled us to discuss with several bigger players in our sector and directly get in touch with the relevant people in charge. We are very thankful for the great coaching and support we received through the coaching process and would like to express our sincere gratitude to both Innosuisse and Heiko Visarius.

Heiko is not only an experienced and skilled coach asking all the relevant questions – he is also a lot of fun and energy, and we really enjoy being in his sessions.

With this coach you will have access to a wide spectrum of opportunities!

We chose Dr Visarius as our preferred business coach for our E.U. SME Instrument grant that our company AscentX Medical has recently been selected for. After spending two full coaching days in Zuerich with this terrific expert and human being, I can say – without hesitation – that he far exceeded our expectations in every aspect. His deep MedTech industry knowledge, grasp of technologies, ability to ask the right questions, global network of top tier executives and entrepreneurs in all areas, creative ideas, and willingness to help in every way possible is truly impressive. Heiko personifies the ideal mentor/coach for any MedTech entrepreneur. I can only hope that many entrepreneurs after us will also have the privilege to meet Heiko and benefit from this mentorship.
