At Biomedical Think Tank (BMTT), we exist to systematically bridge the massive gap between academia and commercialization—turning untapped innovation into real-world impact. We’re building a repeatable model that begins in our home base and is quickly scaling into college towns across the country, where countless senior design projects and promising ideas are left to gather dust.
We work almost exclusively with students to uncover clinical needs, validate solutions, and engineer ventures that are ready for the next step. BMTT isn’t just a launchpad for medtech innovation—it’s a new pipeline for translating under-leveraged academic talent into sustainable commercial success, all while cultivating the next generation of healthcare entrepreneurs.
Identifying Needs, Analyzing Markets, and Engineering Customer-Validated Solutions
BMTT trains students to master clinical need identification through shadowing, lived experiences, and structured customer discovery. Our strength lies in our expansive network and hands-on methodology, giving students the tools to transform unmet needs into scalable, venture-ready solutions.
Once we curate a portfolio of high-potential problems, we conduct rigorous market analyses: mapping the competitive landscape, gauging growth potential, and assessing our capacity to intervene meaningfully. In parallel, we launch targeted customer discovery campaigns and begin engineering practical, evidence-driven solutions.
Each startup that emerges from this process is shaped around real-world demand and positioned for success. We then match these ventures with either established venture studios or founder-level talent, while reserving the option to commercialize directly when strategic. This repeatable, student-powered model enables us to unlock dormant innovation and expand into new college towns with lasting impact.
