The Digest for Health Transformers & Changemakers
Summer will soon be winding down, and we're giving new members an extra reason to join now instead of later. StartUp Health membership is already built to keep you connected to the people, conversations, and opportunities driving the future of health – Fireside Chats, Expert AMAs, VIP event access, and a community of founders, funders, and operators who share your mission.
Join by September 1 and you'll also get your choice of a free audit: a website and brand audit, a pitch and story audit, or an AI ops audit. Sharpen your story or your systems, on us.
“The constant access to advice and introductions has been great. We've had some investments from the Impact Board as well, but learning from our fellow Health Transformers and overall collaboration with the StartUp Health team has been significant. I think the single biggest impact would probably be the publicity that we got from joining this Health Moonshot Community,” says Kavi Misri, CEO & Founder, Hibiscus Health.
“You need a community of people that understands where you're coming from, what you're going through, and how to help you take a step back and see the right perspective. So, that's my view of the community: Fantastic,” says Chuck Papageorgiou, CEO, NeuroEm Therapeutics.
“I'm always absolutely inspired by the network effect of StartUp Health – the brainstorming, the unlocking, and the problem solving,” says Brandi Harless, CEO & Co-founder, PreventScripts.
From Candid Health's $120M raise to AI-powered tools spanning five continents, this week's roundup spotlights the widening reach of health innovation – from cardiac care in New Mexico to brain injury detection in Mumbai.
