Our mission: help healthcare innovators make healthcare work better for everyone.

MedStartr began in 2008 as a labor of love: a community of people who wanted medicine to improve faster. Today that community brings together inventors, clinicians, patients, hospital leaders, designers, executives and investors, online and in person.

We do that through events, pitch contests and crowd challenges, mentors, open innovation programs and our investment funds. The community doesn't just cheer startups on. It helps find the most promising ones and helps them succeed.

We never charge startups to pitch or to use our platform. We live by "No money, no mission," so we teach founders to build businesses that last, because a great idea only helps patients once it reaches them.
