Méridian Strategic Advisors connects vetted Life Sciences companies with institutional capital.
For Life Sciences Companies: We conduct comprehensive due diligence, refine strategic positioning, and facilitate introductions to our institutional investor network. Our consulting retainer funds this process, and when funding closes, we take half our success fee in equity—ensuring complete alignment with your long-term success.
For Institutional Investors: Private equity firms, venture capital funds, and family offices engage us on a membership basis to access pre-vetted deal flow that matches their specific investment criteria. No noise. No unqualified opportunities. Only companies that have passed rigorous screening.
Our Standards: We limit engagements to five companies at a time, allowing us to conduct the thorough due diligence that protects both startups and investors. We review corporate structure, financial sustainability, IP ownership, management capability, milestone achievement, and ethical standards. Companies that don't meet our standards don't move forward, regardless of their science.
Our Mission: Healthcare innovations shouldn't die in the lab because they can't access smart capital. This practice ensures worthy breakthroughs get funded while protecting investors from ventures that aren't ready.
Confidentiality, integrity, and aligned interests aren't just values. They're how we operate.
We work with Life Sciences companies on a consulting retainer that ensures alignment from day one through successful funding close.
We meet in person to understand your company, assess your readiness for institutional capital, and determine if there's genuine alignment. This conversation covers your science, milestones achieved, current capital position, management team, and funding objectives. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you directly and suggest alternative paths.
Upon mutual agreement, we formalize our relationship with clear objectives and compensation structure. The agreement establishes a monthly retainer and defines the scope of our advisory services, including comprehensive due diligence, strategic positioning, and investor introductions.
Our engagement requires a monthly retainer, paid at the beginning of each month for a six-month term. All retainer payments accumulate as credit and are applied against the success fee upon successful funding close. This structure funds the comprehensive due diligence and strategic work required to position your company effectively for institutional investors.
When funding closes through our introductions, we earn a success fee of 10% of capital raised. This fee is structured as 5% in cash and 5% in equity at the same per-share price as your funding round. Accumulated retainer payments are credited against this success fee. Taking equity ensures we're genuinely invested in your long-term success, not just a quick transaction.
Our retainer structure allows us to work with a maximum of five companies at a time, ensuring you receive focused attention throughout the process. We conduct rigorous due diligence, refine your positioning, facilitate introductions to institutional investors who match your needs, and provide strategic counsel through closing. Because we take equity, we're selective. We only represent companies we'd bet our own capital on.
