Suvera

Securing elite clinical and product engineering talent for a CQC-regulated HealthTech leader.

The numbers that mattered

The venture required a specific tier of builder talent that possessed both the deep sector credibility of digital health and the 'zero-to-one' technical rigor to architect a clinical-grade platform from scratch. In a highly regulated and niche landscape, the primary hurdle was a strategic talent vacuum; without these anchors, the firm risked losing momentum and market trust during a vital growth phase.

Suvera faced a dual-track scaling challenge: expanding its virtual clinic capacity while simultaneously engineering the interoperable tech stack required to integrate with legacy NHS systems.

We engineered a targeted search within the digital health ecosystem

Our strategy focused on identifying builders who possessed a dual mastery of clinical workflows and modern engineering resilience. We moved beyond generalist sourcing to tap directly into elite digital health labs and medtech circles, identifying passive talent with a proven track record of shipping in regulated environments. By executing a rigorous technical validation process that prioritized experience in interoperable systems and secure data architecture, we ensured every candidate could navigate the complexities of secondary care without sacrificing product velocity. Working in close alignment with the CEO and Head of Product, we provided the market benchmarking and strategic screening required to anchor Suvera’s technical core, securing the foundational team necessary to scale their virtual clinic on a national level.

Orchestrating the Foundational Core for National Clinical Scaling.

We successfully deployed a cross-functional squad of eight founding hires, spanning backend and frontend engineering, data architecture, and clinical science. This team was engineered to own the end-to-end technical roadmap, delivering core platform milestones including secure patient-facing interfaces and scalable clinical data pipelines. By bridging the gap between clinical specialisms and high-velocity product engineering, these hires institutionalized the technical rigor required to secure investor confidence during early funding rounds. This foundational core did more than just ship code; they provided the structural maturity needed for Suvera to scale its virtual clinic from a Series A venture into a dominant partner for primary and secondary care.
