2017 was a record year for our industry. In the first half of the year alone, $3.5B was invested in 188 digital health companies according to RockHealth, setting a record for number of companies funded and total amount invested.
Though the opportunity is enormous and the potential to save lives is immense, building a healthcare technology company is hard and the industry is complex. Nothing is more valuable (and harder to obtain) than access to a large, engaged, health system that not only wants to provide resources to help your company grow but also potentially buy your product.
In just the last two years, our first three classes graduated from the Cedars-Sinai Accelerator Powered by Techstars and the outcomes were phenomenal. Since our program launched, we’ve welcomed 28 companies from 3 continents to our Innovation Space, and accelerated their product to market. Through the program, the companies created deep relationships with stakeholders and decision makers at Cedars-Sinai, resulting in multiple long-term commercial deals.
We are very excited to share that the Cedars-Sinai Accelerator Powered by Techstars will be running its fourth class in Los Angeles starting July 9, 2018. Applications open January 8 and will close March 25.
If your company is creating hardware, software, medical devices or services that empower patients and healthcare professionals to track, manage or improve healthcare delivery, we want to meet you.
We will keep this page updated with dates and locations for webinars, meetups and office hours. If you are in the Bay Area, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Houston, or DC we would love to meet you in person.
