Public description
About the program
More Disruption Please was athenahealth's health IT partner marketplace and accelerator, which gave selected startups office space, cloud platform access, distribution through athenahealth's provider network and in some cases investment. MDP Labs extended the accelerator nationally and athenahealth acquired at least one MDP company. The accelerator arm was wound down and athenahealth's remaining program is a partner marketplace rather than an accelerator.
