Transform healthcare startup ideas into investment-ready ventures in 6 months.
AI x MedTech is a fully virtual program combining a hackathon + 6-month cohort to take validated healthcare problems from concept to MVP with real users, clinical evidence, and investor readiness.
30 teams selected from 200+ hackathon participants
Healthcare-first mentorship from practicing physicians and MedTech experts
Demo Day access to 50-100 healthcare investors
Outcome: 8-15 teams funded, $15-25M raised within 1 year
Three Core Principles
Healthcare-First, Not AI-First
Validate real clinical problems through 50+ patient conversations. Regulatory clarity and reimbursement strategy from day one.Building in Public
Founders systematically share their journey. Target: 2,000+ followers + 5+ media mentions = faster fundraising & customer discovery.Rigorous Clinical Validation
Deep support beats thin support. Teams selected on genuine problem validation, not just engagement.
PROGRAM & INSIGHTS
Program Philosophy
"Founders with validated healthcare problems, combined with intensive execution support, direct mentorship from practicing physicians, deep patient conversations, and deliberate personal brand building, can go from problem to investment-ready venture in 6 months."
The Healthcare AI Execution Gap
The Problem We're Solving:
AI founders lack healthcare domain knowledge & regulatory understanding
Healthcare practitioners lack technical execution speed & VC networks
Investors see 100+ pitches; only 5 have genuine clinical validation
Patients suffer while founders waste resources on non-problems
Our Solution:
Healthcare-First Mentorship (practicing physicians + healthcare experts)
Founder-Centric Execution (idea to MVP in 4-5 months, not 18)
Dual-Track Validation (clinical + market validation)
Personal Brand as Accelerant (visibility = faster fundraising)
Investor Access (50-100 healthcare-focused VCs at Demo Day)
Regulatory Clarity (FDA pathways understood from day one)
Peer Community (30 founders building together)
