About Meridian Strategic Advisors

Meridian Strategic Advisors raises capital for late-stage biotech and medical device companies at a very specific moment: science proven, patents secured, early funding exhausted, and commercial launch within reach. That inflection point is all we do.

Our Approach

We work with a limited number of companies at any given time. Every company passes rigorous due diligence before we agree to represent them. 

Companies that don’t meet our standards don’t advance, regardless of how promising the technology appears.

We take equity in every engagement because we are your partner, not your vendor. That alignment matters.

How We Work

The first meeting is always face-to-face. If geography makes that impossible, we hold a video call . The goal is always to meet in person before anything moves forward.


We work hands-on throughout the entire process. You work directly with us. No delegation to junior staff.

Due Diligence Standards

Every company we represent passes comprehensive evaluation across six criteria:


• Management integrity and capability

• IP ownership and freedom to operate

• Financial sustainability and realistic capital needs

• Operational capability to execute the development timeline

• Clear regulatory pathway to FDA approval

• Ethical standards and genuine patient benefit


Companies that don’t meet these standards don’t advance. This protects both founders and investors.

About Benoît Lapointe

Ben spent five years as an investment advisor at RBC Dominion Securities in Toronto, where he learned to translate complex investment concepts for sophisticated clients and build portfolios managed by seasoned analysts.


For the past 20 years he has focused on connecting healthcare companies with the capital they need to reach patients. He has watched companies with proven treatments run out of money before commercialization. He has seen patients who needed those innovations never get access to them. That is the problem he solves.


He works with 3 to 5 companies at a time, takes equity in every engagement, and meets every prospective client in person before taking them on. His investor relationships span California, Canada, Europe, and the Middle East.


Ben holds a California real estate broker license and works selectively with established clients on confidential commercial real estate transactions
