About Vivek Munshi

I bring a portfolio career mindset to my work, combining active market participation as a day trader with ongoing advisory and board roles in early-stage medical device companies. After spending 20 years as a commercial leader in medtech, helping companies define go-to-market strategy, build sales organizations, navigate reimbursement, and scale revenue, I transitioned full-time into day trading. That move sharpened my discipline around risk management, decision-making under uncertainty, pattern recognition, and capital allocation - skills that translate directly to advising growth-stage businesses. Today, I remain actively involved with select medical device startups as a board member and commercial advisor. I work closely with founders and leadership teams on - Go-to-market and launch strategy- Sales force design and execution- Marketing and positioning- Reimbursement and market access strategy- Commercial readiness for fundraising and scaleI’m particularly drawn to companies solving meaningful clinical problems and teams that value clear thinking, data-driven decisions, and pragmatic execution. If you’re a founder, investor, or leadership team looking for seasoned commercial perspective, or a board advisor who understands both markets and operating realities, I’m always open to thoughtful conversations.
