Hello Healthcare Innovators!
Just a quick note to tell you about the next challenge we are helping judge and will be selecting our next investment from.  We are very interested in innovations in pain management so we are partnering up with the AAPM, MIT, Galen Growth, the AMA and Scan Health to run the AAPM Innovation Challenge.  Teams that win get tons of benefits, not the least of which is entry into our due diligence process and likely an offer of funding up to $250K in cash and services from our 3rd Fund.  The teams we invested in and accelerated from Fund II have grown exponentially on average, so this is not just money, but everything you need to grow fast in healthcare with the help of our global network, business development services, recruiting and so much more.

Who Should Apply?

Any pre-series B innovation company that has the potential to improve care for people experiencing pain.  This can range from nutrition and sleep solutions to magnets that stop pain or pretty much anything in between.  If your product or service can help doctors and patients mitigate or reduce pain, it's of interest. that 

How Do You Win?

You will be judged by experts from across the pain management spectrum from patients to the head of the AMA to people who run insurance plans looking for solutions. Top teams will be selected to take the stage in Arizona on March 9th in front of hundreds of AAPM members who will also help judge the contest, but also be offered the chance to pilot, try, mentor, or invest in your idea as part of the judging process.  We find that this approach makes everyone a winner as it is rare that a team does not come away without some great leads that will help them grow fast.

Deadline Sunday at Midnight, CST

We asked the AAPM to extend the deadline so we could do a little more outreach to people who probably haven't heard of this challenge yet so here is your change.  Don't delay, Apply Today!

Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!  If you want to book a time to talk to me about your startup, health innovation ecosystem, any of our portfolio companies, or investing in our next fund (open now) please be welcome to book a time with me.

Thanks for all you do everyday to move healthcare forward!
