Who I am
An advisor who has run the science, the pathway, and the capital inside the same companies.
Andrew Jonathan Hillman is a Dallas advisor and the principal of Hillman Ventures, a private family office he founded in 1995. He has built and exited operating companies across surgical hospitals, clinical laboratories, pharmacy, intraoperative neuromonitoring, and medical devices, and now advises founders, investors, and boards on the decisions that determine whether a regulated healthcare company reaches the market.
The advice comes from someone who has been accountable for the outcome, not only for the memo.
What I do

Two services. One operator.

Each engagement starts with the constraint that is actually holding the business back, then works the problem in the order that money and regulators respond to.

01

Business growth consulting

Revenue, margin, and operating discipline for clinics, practices, diagnostics groups, and investor-backed healthcare services. Fix what is leaking before adding what is new.

02

Regulatory strategy

Pathway mapping, milestone planning, and pressure-testing the clinical, operational, and compliance plan before it meets a regulator. Strategy support, not legal advice.

Regulatory strategy advisory for FDA-regulated ventures
The front door

The Diagnostic Advisory Engagement.

New clients start with a short, paid Diagnostic Advisory Engagement. In that engagement I assess your growth performance and your regulatory position together, because in an FDA-regulated business they are one system. What the regulator lets you do decides what you can sell and when you can sell it. A growth plan built without that constraint is a forecast, not a plan.

Step one

Kickoff session

We set the objective, the constraints, and what a useful answer looks like for you.

Step two

Document and data review

I go through what the business actually shows rather than what the deck says.

Step three

Working session

We test the findings against your reality and pressure the options together.

Step four

Final readout

The written strategy report lands, and we walk it end to end.

The engagement ends with a written strategy report and a live strategy session. The report gives you a clear picture of your growth performance and your regulatory position, and of how each one is constraining the other. The session turns that picture into concrete decisions and next steps. The report is something you can take to your board, your investors, and your counsel.

After the diagnostic, we either move into focused work on growth or on regulatory strategy, or you take the findings and act on them with your own team. The diagnostic stands on its own. It is not a sales call with a fee attached.

The Diagnostic Advisory Engagement
Discipline with capital is treated as a competitive advantage, not a constraint.
Operating principle
How I work

The decision sequence.

Recommendations follow a fixed order. Documented facts outrank narrative, and where the evidence is thin, the recommendation says so.

Step 01

Pathway first

The regulatory pathway is settled before anything else. It sets the requirements every later decision answers to.

Step 02

Test the evidence

Scientific and regulatory claims are weighed against primary sources, filings, and the published literature.

Step 03

Plan the capital

The capital plan is built to the pathway, with burn discipline and an operating cadence that matches the stage.

Step 04

Team and execution

The team and execution risk are tested against the plan. Assumptions are stated so a reader can check them.

Operating history

The advice rests on a documented operating record.
