You may already know about Vita Group, a research, design and manufacturing medical incubator company specializing in the commercialization of medical devices. However, you may not know the history of the foundation of Vita Group. Well, we’re here to give you the inside scoop on where Vita Group began. So, let’s get into how it all started.
It all started with a group of people who worked together on multiple medical device projects at companies that were continuously successfully exiting. It was a shame they kept disbanding, because they realized they worked extremely well together. They wanted to find a way to keep the team together while making improvements to the current R&D industry. Because they have firsthand experience in the medical device industry, they saw many opportunities to improve the standards.
For example, Jason, CEO of Vita Group, was investing his own money into the development of medical devices. He realized he was wasting his time and thousands of dollars because there was little progress being made over long periods of time. He saw no effort in the engineering teams, and as he would say “are engineering to engineer”. There was no incentive for these engineers to bring medical devices to the market. Jason and the other founders of the company knew they could make a point of being aggressive with medical device development, and so they founded Vita Group with that goal in mind.
They also saw how hard it was for inventors to hire a successful sales team, so they founded Vita Solutions, our international plug-and-play sales force of 40+ representatives. Vita Solutions is one of the most impactful assets we have to help inventors, because the provided the sales force enables the startup device to quickly get on their feet, without the need to staff an in-house sales team.
Now that you know why Vita Group was founded, let me tell you about the leaders of the company who work to make Vita Group a success.
