FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Guided Solutions, GS Capital Connect, and ULAM LABS Announce Strategic Partnership to Help MedTech Companies Scale on Solid Foundations
Leeds, UK / Wrocław, Poland - 1 November 2026
Guided Solutions, the global executive search company exclusively dedicated to MedTech, and GS Capital Connect, its investment intelligence and advisory arm, have entered into a strategic partnership with ULAM LABS, a tech partner for MedTech start-ups and growing companies in the UK, EU and US. The agreement brings together organisations covering three things every scaling MedTech company depends on: leadership, capital, and the software infrastructure that connects its operations.
As MedTech companies grow, the systems behind them come under the same scrutiny as the devices themselves. Disconnected QMS, ERP and EHR platforms, manual compliance work, and prototypes that were never built to pass due diligence can slow submissions, expose gaps at audit, and hold back expansion into new markets. The partnership gives companies at this stage access to the people, the investment relationships, and the engineering capability they need to scale without building up compliance debt.
ULAM LABS brings more than 10 years of experience building complex software. For start-ups, it delivers working MVPs and AI products on a predictable budget, ready for due diligence without a rebuild. For growing companies, it takes integrations (EHR, HL7, FHIR), architecture fixes and client-specific work off the core team, so new clients go live faster and the roadmap stays on track. A platform the team built from scratch for MediShout, an NHS Innovation Accelerator company, now runs in more than 200 hospitals with over 10,000 clinical staff users, and ULAM LABS' longest-standing client has stayed for almost a decade. The company is Cyber Essentials certified and ISO 27001 aligned, and builds with GDPR, DSPT, NHS and UK and EU MDR requirements in mind. AI helps the team move faster, and experienced engineers make sure the result lasts.
Guided Solutions brings 26 years of exclusive MedTech focus, a network of 200,000+ professionals, and 10,000+ placements across board, C-suite, commercial, technical, and regulatory functions in 40+ countries. Operating on a commission-free model with a director always as a client touchpoint, the company partners with MedTech companies from pre-seed to global scale. GS Capital Connect extends that partnership into the investment and growth advisory space, connecting MedTech companies with the intelligence and relationships they need to raise, grow, and exit.
“MedTech companies don’t usually stall because the product is wrong. They stall because the leadership, the funding, or the systems underneath can’t keep up with the growth,” said Kristien Esser, CEO of Guided Solutions. “ULAM LABS builds software the way we approach search: senior people, diagnosis first, and built to last rather than just to ship. Together we help companies put the right leaders and the right infrastructure in place before scale exposes the gaps.”
The partnership formalises a preferred relationship between the organisations, enabling clients to access integrated support across executive search, investment intelligence, and custom software development from a single trusted network.
