Challenge
The challenge in the Future Health Accelerator was to accelerate early-stage entrepreneurs within 8 months. The accelerator aimed to create significant impact through the transformation of the healthcare sector, bolstering the development of cutting-edge health and wellness solutions.
It is a very focused program for early stage founders. The flexibility helped us focus on what is important at the start but still provided us with great coaching and training to speed up the process.
Solution
We crafted an 8-month accelerator program that supported the entrepreneurs in the following ways:
Financial Support
We provided equity-free, pre-seed financial and in-kind assistance support for the founders in the program. This support provided the entrepreneurs with the necessary resources to fund their early stages of development.
Strategic Guidance, Mentorship, and Community
Entrepreneurs in the Future Health Accelerator received strategic guidance and mentoring aimed at boosting their healthcare innovations. Working from a top co-working space, they also gained access to an exclusive community, fostering collaboration and shared learning experiences.
Access to the Extensive BIA Innovation Hub Network
The accelerator opened doors to the extensive BIA Innovation Hub network, connecting startups with corporates, investors, and city stakeholders. This network provided invaluable opportunities for partnerships, funding, and exposure, elevating the potential for success.
Cross-Sector Collaboration Programs and Events
Participants in the Future Health Accelerator had the opportunity to engage in programs and events for cross-sector collaboration, organized in collaboration with the BIA Innovation Hub. These initiatives broadened horizons, facilitated knowledge exchange, and contributed to the overall growth of the startups.
Meet and Learn! With BIA, we managed to meet a lot of incredible people from the healthcare industry that we would not have otherwise. Thanks to them and thanks to the other startups, to have been in the same room with us and exchanging on all the initial difficulties that early-stage founders have: It reduced the pain.
