NetHub Validated – A Pre-acceleration Program for Healthcare Startups

Purpose

The NetHub Accelerator will support early-stage startup teams in the process from ideation to validation of new and existing disruptive business ideas and concepts in the fields of virtual care, remote patient monitoring, and healthcare data analysis.

Mentoring Package

The healthcare system is complex, and building a successful healthtech startup requires more than just a good idea. Through this three-month program, we will assist startup teams by creating and implementing an individualized mentoring package and networking them with technology mentors, health and social care providers, and their users.

Benefits

Teams will dive into the world of healthcare technology and, despite limited resources, validate the concept of their healthtech innovations in an industry-relevant environment and define further steps for the development of their startups.

Teams

Startup teams should consist of 2 to 4 members, and NetHub Accelerator will include a total of 3 teams in the program. To ensure commitment and business continuity after the Program’s completion, each startup team must provide at least one person who will be fully dedicated to the Program. Teams must have a defined entrepreneurial idea or challenge in the field of virtual care, remote patient monitoring, or healthcare data analysis that they wish to solve.

Applications are accepted until September 19, 2022, and selected applicants will be announced on September 29, 2022.
