HealthTech Blackstone LaunchPad Startup Week

Jul 9, 2021, 15:36 PM by Lanette Harris

Learn how to think, work and build like a startup. 

The HealthTech Startup Week will be based off the iconic Techstars Startup Weekend, but will be spread over a week to allow for sleep, breaks, doing that important experiment in the lab, etc. We welcome all students, postdocs, residents and trainees interested in Medical and Health-related entrepreneurship, including Medical Device, Digital Health solutions, Diagnostics, Therapeutics, and other technologies to improve Health and Medical Innovation.

This opportunity is designed for students and trainees early in their entrepreneurship and innovation journey without any prior training or existing venture experience. Over the course of the week, participants will experience an all emcompasing entrepreneurial bootcamp, featuring workshops, mentor feedback, networking, market research, and team collaboration that culminates in a pitch competition. Participants will learn both the technical and inter-personal skills required to start a business and in doing so gain exposure to critical tools for success in their careers by being challenged to think creatively, communicate effectively, work in a team, and solve a self-identified problem.

Please RSVP and you will be emailed the link to sign up for the event.
