Shorelight Medical is a US-based commercialization partner that helps inventors, startups and established medtech and life science companies, in the US and abroad, bring medical devices, pharmaceuticals and biologics, diagnostics, digital health and software products to the US market. Instead of hiring separate firms for strategy, funding, regulatory, reimbursement, marketing, sales and supply chain, you work with one team that manages every stage, and is accountable for the result.

What makes us different
Experience you can rely on
More than 30 years of combined experience. Our team's experience in medtech and life science commercialization spans sales, product development, marketing strategy and execution, and market launch.
A proven launch process. A US Market Entry Blueprint and a defined five-stage pathway that keep projects on schedule and budgets predictable.
Every service under one roof
One partner, every stage. Commercial strategy, funding, regulatory and quality, reimbursement and market access, sales and marketing, and manufacturing and supply chain, coordinated by a single project lead.
Funding and strategic partnerships. Investor presentations, outreach and introductions (including licensed brokers and M&A attorneys to help structure deals), SBIR/STTR, NIH and ARPA-H grant strategy, and introductions to strategic partners across every service.
A path to payment, not just clearance. Reimbursement and market access planned alongside your regulatory strategy, so buyers and payers can say yes.
Marketing that reaches clinicians and buyers. Branding, digital and social media, KOL development, medical education, conference strategy and PR.
Real US market access. Established relationships with US distributors, independent reps, health systems and manufacturing partners, and the ability to recruit and onboard a sales team for you.
End-to-end supply chain. Manufacturing, packaging, serialization, cold-chain and DEA-compliant storage, 3PL, direct-to-patient fulfillment and HCP sampling through qualified partners.
How we work with you
Built for US and international companies. Four South Carolina Department of Commerce STEP grants (2025–2026), and experience guiding both US and foreign firms through FDA, import and distribution.
Transparent engagement. Your first 1-hour discovery call is free. After that, you get a written proposal with scope and fees (fixed-price projects or hourly support) before any paid work begins.
