“I had the pleasure of meeting Karina during a coaching session as part of the Venturelab Start-up Training Business Creation course. While participating in Venture Kick, we decided to work with Effectum Medical to address our regulatory questions, and we were assigned to Annalisa. Her support was particularly reassuring, given her hands-on experience in startup and corporate roles. Effectum Medical didn’t feel like a typical consultancy; they felt like an extension of our team, an extra set of hands to help us accomplish more in less time. Their guidance gave us the confidence to establish a clear roadmap for regulatory approval, which we carried into our Venturekick Stage III pitch—and won. I would wholeheartedly recommend Effectum Medical to any startup tackling regulatory challenges.”
