What We Do

Three engagements.
One outcome.

Your deal shouldn't die in due diligence. We embed as clinical and operational partners — finding the gaps before investors do, and building the investor-grade depth that commands premium terms.

The Assessment

A 2–3 week deep dive across your clinical protocols, data infrastructure, regulatory exposure, and cap table structure. We find the compliance gaps, operational risks, and structural barriers that slow fundraising or tank acquisition deals. No surprises. Just clarity and a prioritized roadmap.

HealthTech Operations

We embed as your fractional Chief Clinical and Operations Officer, translating your clinical vision into documented, repeatable workflows. Your standards scale with your team. Your founder moves from execution to strategy. Investors see operational depth, not founder dependence.

Investor Readiness

We build the operational architecture that wins investor confidence and passes audits. Governance documentation. Clinical evidence packages. Compliance roadmaps. Financial controls. The result: you walk into investor meetings or acquisition talks as an investor-grade business.

Built for Founders

Clinical authority
meets commercial
excellence.

You've built something clinically valuable. You need someone who speaks both languages: clinical evidence and investor expectations.

We're not consultants who hand you a deck and disappear. We embed in your business, take responsibility for outcomes, and only win if your venture scales.

Dr Anna MacNeil

HEALTH-TECH ADVISOR

Trained in both medicine and law, Anna has spent over a decade at the intersection of clinical practice, regulatory frameworks, and health-tech advisory, working with founders building in one of the most compliance-heavy industries in the world.

She built VGG because too many strong health-tech ventures were losing deals over problems that could have been spotted in week one.

What Founders Say

In their own words

— field notes

Anna is one of the most diligent people I've worked with. She sees things we didn't know were coming and moves fast. Exactly what you need when you're in the middle of a raise.

Founder, health-tech venture (Brisbane)

Our fundraising was chaos until Anna came in. She brought structure and clarity to every investor conversation. We closed on terms we didn't think were possible at our stage.

Co-founder, digital health platform (Australia)

The team go out of their way in the toughest and most competitive markets. Very responsive and supportive when you need it most. The level of service is unlike anything we've experienced.

Limited Engagements

Only limited spots
available.

Because transformational impact requires deep partnership, not transactional consulting.

Every engagement is founder-led. We embed as operational partners and take responsibility for outcomes.

That's why we're selective — and why founders who work with us get investor-grade results.
