MedStartr 2012
This was our original MedStartr video from 2012 when we first launched our crowdfunding site. We have come a long way since then. We started as a community in 2098, then launched MedStartr.com for crowdfunding in 2012, then started running contests for Associations, governments, and large companies in 2013, then two investment funds and finally a marketplace of medical and healthcare innovations in 2026. It's good to look back at this and see our revolutionary roots. The healthcare system has evolved significantly over the past decade, thanks to the creativity and drive of tens of thousands of innovators and the hundreds of thousands that were open to innovation, helping millions of people get better care every day. We are grateful to all our community members, especially those that funded us in this initial campaign on MedStartr.

A HUGE part of what early stage companies, and even late stage ones, need and get on MedStartr is honest feedback from actual patients, clinicians, hospital leaders and industry insiders. It is very easy to get tunnel vision as a founder. Please tell the team that runs this company what you think.
