2027 Accelerator Challenge
Get found and funded faster — pitch your healthcare innovation to the crowd that cares.
The 2027 Accelerator Challenge invites healthcare innovators — from ideas to early-revenue companies — to pitch their solutions to a global crowd of patients, providers, investors, and care professionals. Finals are on stage at HealthTech Summit 2027 (@JPM), January 14–16, 2027, in San Francisco. Winners are entered into the MedStartr Spring 2027 Accelerator Program for funding, partner services, and mentorship.
There has never been a better time to start, grow, or scale a healthcare company: AI is reshaping care, and patients, providers, and payers are all demanding better quality at lower cost with more access and transparency.
