About the program
Village Capital's Innovations in Health Equity accelerator selects early-stage US health startups working to close equity gaps in access, quality and outcomes. The program uses Village Capital's signature peer-selected investment model, in which participating founders evaluate one another and the top-ranked companies receive investment. A cohort of ten startups was selected in one round, with four peer-selected for investment.
