Whimbrel is a MedTech BD analyst you keep inside Claude, Cursor, or any AI that speaks MCP. It reads a live, source-linked archive of the US medtech market: FDA clearances and approvals, NIH and NSF awards, federal medical R&D contracts, and trial registrations, refreshed every morning.
Paste one URL, start a one-month free trial, and ask real questions: who got funded this week, what cleared FDA, which firms hold Breakthrough Device status, or dig into a company you want to partner with.
Built on the public record, not on scraped guesses.

Who it is for
Anyone selling into US medtech
BD and partnerships
At a device company or strategic. See who just got funded or cleared in your space before the press release, and walk into the call with the record in hand.
Contract manufacturers and suppliers
Fresh NIH Phase II money and first-year awards mean a company is about to build. Rank them against your own capabilities and find who to call.
Regulatory, design, and clinical services
Watch a space for new De Novos, trial registrations, and Breakthrough designations, then export the companies and contacts to HubSpot or Salesforce.
Three steps
How it works

Step 1
Connect
Paste one URL into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Steps for every client are on the Connect page. About two minutes.

Step 2
Ask
Scan a space, build a target list, pull any company’s registry history, or watch what changed since last week. Search five years of signals.

Step 3
Dig in
Ask for full research on one company: leadership, funding, regulatory position, and contact routes, every line tied to its source. Export to your CRM.
Every fact linked to its source
Every fact links to the public record behind it: the registry entry, the filing, the page it was read from. A fact without a public source is left out. Whimbrel does not score fit or guess intent. It hands you the record and lets you and your AI decide.
