Our approach to partnership
Experienced Partners
We have done this before. We have the experience, advisor network and financial resources needed to close transactions efficiently and grow our partnerships.
Bias For Simplicity
We like to keep things simple. We value straightforward deal structures that are easy to communicate and understand.
Direct Communicators
We will not waste your time. We address issues head-on and communicate clearly and quickly on what we can and can't do.
Fair Partners
We are not concerned with “winning” on every point. We form partnerships that are fair to all and seek to be good partners long before a partnership is finalized.

What our partners say
George Walker
Co-Founder of Nuance Medical"We were able to meet our goals for a transition and be part of future growth by rolling meaningful equity into the new company. MD Holdings is building a strong management team around Mark Steele and was able to add expertise at the Board level that is already opening new doors for the business. I am excited to see what the future holds for Nuance Medical."
Will Gregory
Founder and President of Advantage Surveillance"It was clear to me that I had taken the organization as far as I could take it on my own. I found a partner with the expertise and business sense to capitalize on what was great about the company and add improvements to what was needed to grow. I couldn’t have picked a better partner."
Dan Bickel
Former Owner and Vice President of Product Development at StatLab"It was with no small amount of trepidation that my brothers and I embarked upon the sale of our 25-year-old family business. We were looking for a partner who would continue StatLab’s growth and provide opportunities for our employees. Mike and Dan helped us accomplish these objectives beyond our expectations."
Marc Lieberman
Co-Founder of Nuance Medical"George and I wanted to take our company to the next level but step back a bit from running the business day-to-day. We were looking for a partner with the insight, resources, and connections to help us achieve this goal. MD Holdings has been the perfect partner for us."
Jeff Schleuning, Ph.D.
Founder at Biodermis Corporation"We believe combining forces with Nuance Medical will further strengthen our 30-year position as the innovator in the scar management and post operative care market. We see greater efficiencies and opportunities to grow our market share globally. We have been extremely impressed by the MD Holdings team and are excited about collaborating on our shared vision of expanding our brand by working closely with such experienced professionals."
Dave Stewart
President of Kolb Stewart & Associates"After nearly 45 years in business I was considering selling and Dan was referred to me by an investigation company I had worked with over the years. I found Dan to be very forthright and considerate of my requests including finding positions for all of my employees. Once we agreed upon a figure the process was seamless from due diligence to payment and Dan met our rather ambitious deadline of just a few months. I have continued on as a consultant and we are now a few months in and I couldn’t be more pleased with the transition and the support we have received assimilating our employees into the new system."
