A successful product launch requires a powerhouse Key Opinion Leader (KOL) team. In Episode 3 of our Achieving Commercial Velocity in MedTech series, Mike and Chris are joined by Steven Flutie-Davis, Founder of Incirqle to discuss the strategy behind KOL selection and engagement. Steven explains why relying solely on a surgeon's academic prestige or ”big name” is a commercial trap. Instead, he breaks down how his AI-driven data company helps startups identify true early adopters based on over 150 unique data points.
In this episode, we cover:
• The Rule of Three: Why having exactly three diverse KOLs provides the perfect balance to challenge your engineering and push back on bad ideas without crowding the room.
• Identifying Early Adopters: Why a surgeon's patent history—not their academic research—is the ultimate leading indicator of someone willing to take a risk on a new product.
• AI for Go-To-Market: How connecting AI to NPI and Medicare databases can deliver highly qualified distributor, and surgeon leads directly to your inbox.
