Public description
About the program
500 Global is a venture capital firm with $2.3 billion in assets under management that runs a flagship early-stage accelerator in Palo Alto plus regional programs in Latin America, Eurasia, MENA, Egypt, Japan and Korea. The flagship program is sector-agnostic and has backed digital health companies among a broad tech portfolio, but 500 Global does not currently list a dedicated US health vertical program.
