We founded Meridian at the end of September 2024. In our first three months, we:
Reusable rockets, air taxis, autonomous robots, next-gen EV batteries—all these technologies are moving out of R&D and are on the cusp of entering high-scale production. But before companies building these technologies can scale, they have to achieve compliance with industry quality standards such as AS9100 (aerospace), IATF (automotive), ISO-9001 (general manufacturing), and more.
Today, compliance is notoriously difficult to achieve because it affects every aspect of how a business operates. A typical timeframe for initial compliance and certification is 18-24 months. Meridian’s initial mission is to reduce this to 3-6 months, dramatically shortening our customers’ time-to-market in highly regulated and complex industries.
To accomplish this, we’re developing a next-generation compliance & quality platform. Our product helps our customers establish processes to achieve ongoing compliance with quality standards, then evolve their quality operations as they scale.
After achieving success in this initial market segment, Meridian will expand quickly to additional industries (automotive, medical devices, pharmaceuticals) and compliance challenges (statutory, regulatory, flow-down). We’ll leverage the platform we’ve built to move upmarket and solve problems for larger-scale manufacturers, including venture-backed and more traditional enterprises.
