Chesamel Health employee Melissa Klufio Peeler joined Intro as an expert.

Chesamel Health is a boutique consultancy helping early-stage digital health and health tech companies turn clinical promise into commercial traction—landing and scaling partnerships with payers, health systems, and employers. We work with U.S. founders and international teams entering the U.S. market, bringing the buyer's perspective and hands-on execution from commercialization strategy through pilot design, contracting, and revenue activation. What we bring: Our founder brings 20+ years of experience across national health plans, health systems, and health tech, including evaluating digital health companies as potential partners and acquisition targets, designing and scaling partnerships, and building healthcare technology solutions from the inside. Where we come in: Pre-seed / pre-revenue: You've thought hard about commercialization. What's harder to access is what the buyer's side actually looks like—who signs off, what they measure, and what they'll expect beyond what they ask for. We bring that view early, so it can shape your product, business model, and evidence strategy before change gets costly. We also help you find and land the right first pilot partners—the ones that generate meaningful evidence and signal that scale is possible. Investors know the difference. Seed / Series A: You have evidence your product works. The harder question is whether the buyer believes the proof—and whether you fit the architecture they already run on, visible and invisible: technical, operational, financial, and emotional. That case isn't one pitch; it gets rebuilt as you learn what each stakeholder needs. We help build the case for each stakeholder and stay hands-on through the work required to turn pilots into partnerships, contracts into implementation, and paper into revenue.
