Techstars Healthcare Accelerator powered by Permanente Medicine Mid-Atlantic States
Techstars Healthcare Accelerator powered by Permanente Medicine Mid-Atlantic States is designed for visionary entrepreneurs who are meaningfully transforming healthcare delivery, making it more accessible, personalized, and efficient. We seek solutions that could thrive in a value-based care environment to enhance patient outcomes, reduce costs, and improve care experiences across diverse populations.
Transforming Healthcare
Partnering with the Mid-Atlantic Permanente Medical Group (MAPMG), an award-winning group of 1,800 physicians spanning more than 60 medical specialties and the exclusive care provider of Kaiser Permanente across Washington D.C., Virginia, and Maryland, this program gives founders direct access to one of the most sophisticated value-based care systems in the country. This program looks for visionary entrepreneurs who are meaningfully transforming healthcare delivery, making it more accessible, personalized, and efficient. The best applicants combine deep insight into a structural problem in healthcare with a team capable of executing against it. The program's focus is guided by six overarching themes: administration of care, friction reduction, building trust in clinical care, women's health, care at home, and chronic care and aging.
