A 20Fathoms initiative, the HealthSpark Accelerator empowers digital and telehealth startups to navigate the complex healthcare industry and successfully introduce their products.
Participating digital and telehealth companies engage with healthcare experts across the business spectrum to learn how to bridge operational and delivery gaps. Successful participants will graduate with a more robust and networked company as well as the knowledge and preparation to execute a pilot with a rural hospital system.
Opportunities are available for rural healthcare providers, mentors, angel and venture investors, corporates, and strategic partners.
“This program is incredible. It has been transformational for us and prepared us for our first round of fundraising.”
“Our mentor, Dr. Shrawan Patel, has been incredible. He helped us build on the many lessons shared during the HealthSpark Accelerator, and helped refine Rad AI’s value proposition and messaging for our key health system partners.”
“The HealthSpark Accelerator provided a critical lens through which we could discover our weaknesses and address them. We have made some significant shifts in our business strategy in response to the program and we are now far more prepared to answer the difficult questions investors will ask.”
The HealthSpark Accelerator is for pre-seed, seed, and A-round digital and telehealth companies who are looking to hone their value proposition, expand their knowledge of rural healthcare systems, and vastly expand their network.
Sessions are presented by leaders in business development, entrepreneurship, financing, healthcare, innovation, product management, and technology transfer.
The program covers topics including clinical application, rural vs urban health systems, finance and budgeting, fundraising and venture capital, barriers to adoption, privacy and security, engaging rural hospitals, product development cycle, purchasing decisions, regulatory, reimbursement, sponsorship, supply chain, value props (honing and pitching), pilot study design, and enterprise roll-out.
