About BeanStock Ventures
Strategic partners in accelerating medical device innovation
Helping Bring Innovative Ideas to Life
Because innovation only matters when it reaches patients
Our goal is to accelerate the path of getting valuable medical innovations to market—so
they can reach the patients who need them most.
The BeanStock Story
Committed to bringing meaningful products to market
After 25 years developing and launching medical devices, we saw too many great ideas fail—not from lack of innovation, but from gaps in expertise, planning, and execution.
As engineers-turned-regulatory experts, we have learned how to bridge the gap from concept to market with precision, speed, and commercial success.
BeanStock Ventures was founded to help others do the same—guiding innovators through the complexities of development, regulatory strategy, and market approval.
Because the world doesn’t just need more ideas. It needs viable, impactful solutions—delivered.
What We Stand For
Precision
We bring deep technical and regulatory domain expertise to every engagement, ensuring your medical device is developed, documented, and positioned for compliance from day one.
Strategy
We don’t just execute—we design tailored strategies that align your regulatory, product, and company objectives to accelerate market entry and long-term success.
Execution
We move efficiently with a strong understanding of your goals, resource constraints, and stakeholder priorities to deliver a solution that’s not just compliant, but practical and scalable.
Meet Our Founder & CEO
Shawnnah Monterry
With over 20 years in the medical industry, Shawnnah has helped bring some of the most innovative healthcare products to life.
Before starting BeanStock Ventures, she earned her computer science degree from UC San Diego and an executive MBA from San Diego State. She went on to lead product development at companies like Illumina, Invetech, Medtronic, and Carl Zeiss Meditec—gaining deep experience in medical devices, life sciences, and biotech along the way.
But over time, she realized something: working inside large organizations made it hard to create real change. To make a bigger impact and help more groundbreaking ideas succeed, she knew she had to do things differently.
So she started BeanStock Ventures—with a vision to help more great products make it to market, faster and smarter.
Real Stories, Real Results
“We didn’t think FDA clearance could happen this quickly. BeanStock Ventures demonstrated a deep technical understanding of our device—even with its architectural complexity and integration with third-party medical devices. Their 3P510(k) review process was smooth, efficient, and supported by fast communication and clearly defined, actionable comments. Their support enabled us to achieve clearance in just 60 days.”
Anika Uhde
CEO, Medical Templates AG
“Bedrock’s reusable platform allowed us to launch a fully custom clinical analysis solution—integrated with our own backend—in just three months. The deployment was seamless, the code handoff effortless, and the platform’s built-in compliance and scalability mean we can grow without starting from scratch.”
Mark Prazer
Head of Software Engineering, Global Diagnostics, Zoetis
“Thank you, BeanStock Ventures, for the successful collaboration in software development and managing a highly complex program. We were impressed with the successful integration of your experts with our Research and Development team and the achievement of end-to-end integration in six months. Your creation of a custom team to complement our team and provide the leadership in software strategy; designing our interface and leading the integration of the secondary analysis software and planning for a new life science instrument across four organizations was professional, effective, and aligned with our business needs. I would highly recommend partnering with BeanStock Ventures on innovation and software product development in life sciences, biotechnology, or medical devices.“

“Thank you, BeanStock Ventures, for being a key and valued contributor to the success of our recent 510K submission. The collaboration with our regulatory, quality partners and product development team could not have gone better. BeanStock Ventures deep understanding of the medical device industry and regulatory landscape helped deliver a professional, thorough software process and thereby a finished product for submission. Your careful oversight and guidance aligns with our corporate objectives and allowing us to achieve our key milestones. We look forward to working together on our future software quality and regulatory needs.”
Paul DiPerna
CEO, Modular Medical and Founder of Tandem Diabetes
“This was our first experience with regulated product development at Resilience. We quickly realized how difficult it was to create and manage all the required documentation and recognized the need for traceability in software product development for medical devices.
We chose BeanStock Ventures’ DIY Regulatory Kits because it provided guidance and best practices to help us complete our SiMD/SaMD regulatory technical submission.
The premium templates and training courses gave vital structure and traceability for early stages. There was A LOT of valuable content.
The premium DHF templates are pretty awesome. These helped our team do the right processes very quickly without having to develop anything in-house. The documents were very mature, had great examples, and the color coordination within each template was very helpful to spell out exactly what information was needed in our documents.
Being our first time with true software product development, we appreciated that the tools provided by BeanStock Ventures’ DIY Software Kit integrated with our existing processes so that we did not need to migrate. We were able to reach more mature processes quickly.”
