VIBRANT'S STORY

A truly disruptive innovation—inside and out

Chronic constipation is no laughing matter. When a fiber-rich diet and over-the-counter laxatives don’t work, sufferers turn to more aggressive medications that come with serious side effects. Vibrant developed a totally different solution. Once swallowed, the company’s vibrating capsule kickstarts the natural impulses of your intestinal wall to contract, relax and get things moving again. Vibrant’s medical device provides chemical-free and safe treatment for the patients who need it most. Since our partnership began, Vibrant’s leadership in the gastrointestinal field has been recognized by, among others, Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas awards.

Unorthodox ventures’ impact

Launching a life-changing medical device takes partners who know the business. For Vibrant, we drove commercial strategy and market research. We evaluated the production plan and identified potential hurdles to overcome in advance.
