Help Solve the Global Corona Virus Crisis
COVID-19 is running rampant and we won't be in public again until this is under control! But Never Fear, Healthcare Innovators are here to help! Innovators are retooling, inventing, and launching great ideas that can help from every corner of the world. To help everyone hear about them we are running a series of Virtual Pitch Competitions all throughout April with 4 heats of ten teams each and a finals on April 26th. Join us Thursdays at 4 PM EST Every Week until then.

You can watch live or later on MedStartr.tv as well.
Innovators: We are calling all health innovators whose companies can help end COVID-19. That could be companies pioneering virtual health, telemedicine, homecare, or completely new technology that can slow or medicate the virus.

What you win: Everyone wins greater exposure of their ideas and the top teams have a chance to enter into our portfolio of amazing companies and accelerator/funding program that provides up to 2 million dollars in funding. Win and we will put you through our due diligence process and probably invest in you. Coronavirus has shown the need for innovation all over the world.

Judges and Experts: This isn't just a call for startups; we need the input of doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. Your insights are critical to determining which team has the best chance to help. Apply here to become a judge and MedStartr Mentor. https://medstartr.wufoo.com/forms/z5hxdwm1a4s2gr/

Why we are doing this?
This event is brought to you by MedStartr Ventures, our VC fund that invests in and accelerates the best new companies in healthcare. With the outbreak of the COVID-19 it shows how there needs to be more innovations! This is part of MedStartr Momentum World Tour 2020, or just #MedMo2020 for short. To learn more or to get involved please engage us on social media at @MedStartr or @alexbfair everywhere or call 530.MED.STAR anytime.

More about the MedStartr Ventures Acceleration Program:
Winning teams will be evaluated for inclusion in the MedStartr Acceleration Program which initially provides over $350,000 in funding and services including two years of support from the MedStartr Ventures team and Mentor network. MedStartr is no ordinary accelerator though. We select companies that are obtaining support from patients, providers, partners, institutions and investors and then accelerate them with services and introductions critical to startups in healthcare.

Why we are Charging for a virtual event
We implemented virtual webinars and trained our staff to run these challenges and are spending a great deal of time organizing the events so while it is different work than the IRL events we usually do, it still works and we need to pay people and platforms like zoom for them. We are making it really inexpensive though. Please know that all proceeds will be going to driving awareness and innovation for COVID Innovations! Students, people in transition and startups can always attend for free but please support the cause if you can.
