Public description
About the program
Plug and Play runs a health vertical out of its Sunnyvale headquarters plus regional health programs, matching startups with a roster of corporate partners in the health and insurance sectors. Batches are run repeatedly through the year and are built around corporate pilot matchmaking rather than a fixed curriculum. In 2024 Plug and Play launched a 12-week health accelerator in downtown Bentonville, Northwest Arkansas, focused on consumer health engagement and self-insurance, with Arkansas Blue Cross Blue Shield and regional employers involved.
