Public description

About the program

StartUp Health, launched in 2011, invests in and organizes a global community of what it calls Health Transformers, structured around ten health moonshots including access to care, cancer, women's and children's health, mental health and longevity. It is closer to a long-duration venture fund plus founder community than a fixed-term accelerator, with no set graduation date. It maintains one of the largest digital health portfolios by company count and runs coaching, peer groups and an annual festival.
