Health&Wellbeing
NanoCelle Virile - Biotechnology/Pharmaceuticals
The founders of this innovative biotech appointed Merano to manage their formation and seed capital raises. As a start up in this highly competitive sector, we worked diligently to project manage the formation of the business - supporting and managing the entire process, including company registration, shareholders deed and constitution development, ESOP, appointment of legal/accountant/IT/web design consultants and much more, as well as led the capital raise process.
We negotiated with the founders to have investor representation on the board and will maintain ongoing governance support to the board’s Chair.
Para Mobility – Health
Parra Mobility is an Australian manufacturer of assistive technology and mobility equipment, offering a range of products designed to enhance accessibility and independence for individuals with disabilities. The organisation was committed to improving access and mobility within public and private infrastructure, health, and education organisations.
We managed the acquisition, capital funding (with a major Australian bank), structuring, legals and accounting advice. Our strategy for this ‘’mum & dad’’ operation was to insert a small executive leadership team and an appropriately sized governance processes to replace the previous owner operator. The business was held for five years, before being successfully divested.
Flexi Solutions – Wellbeing
Recognising an emerging trend in workplace ergonomics, we founded this early-stage provider of height-adjustable workstations, blending local and European imported hardware to create a high-quality product.
As a micro business operating within a small growth segment of an established sector, we encountered a range of challenges in gaining market share & ultimately made the decision to wind down operations after 2 years.
