Spindiag GmbH (client)

Spindiag GmbH

Spindiag GmbH was an innovative medical technology start-up based in Freiburg im Breisgau, founded in 2016 as a spin-off from the renowned Hahn-Schickard Institute. The team combined expertise in microfluidics, life sciences, and diagnostics and, with its “Rhonda” platform, aimed to enable reliable PCR diagnostics directly at the point of care—i.e., where samples were taken.

Challenge

Spindiag had to position itself in a highly regulated environment:

  • Technologies for rapid infection diagnostics required the highest standards in terms of validity, safety, and user-friendliness.
  • During the pandemic, there was enormous pressure to bring products to market quickly that were not only technologically mature but also ready for market.
  • In addition, regulatory requirements such as CE-IVD guidelines had to be met and the portfolio expanded (e.g., tests for SARS-CoV-2, influenza, RSV, MRSA) without compromising on quality and reliability.

Our role & support

As a specialized consulting boutique, we helped Spindiag fill key positions that were particularly important: executives and technical experts who, in addition to technical expertise, also had experience in regulatory processes, quality management, and product development. We specifically identified candidates with medtech experience, taking into account project durations, regulatory challenges, and Spindiag's ambitious development roadmap.

Results & Impact

Thanks to the appointments, Spindiag was able to achieve important milestones: expanded test ranges (e.g., combined Respi-Disk tests, MRSA tests), CE-IVD conformity, and market entry under strict requirements. The product quality and user-friendliness of the Rhonda platform were also frequently cited as advantages. Spindiag was thus able to grow in a technologically, economically, and regulatory sustainable manner. Our collaboration helped bring in the right personnel who were able to actively shape these challenges.
