The accelerator, called the Cedars-Sinai Accelerator Powered by Techstars, aims to help startups focused on healthcare challenges scale their innovations for the broader healthcare market.
The nine startups will complete an intensive three-month program in Los Angeles and receive an initial investment of $120,000, mentorship from Cedars-Sinai physicians and executives, and exposure to a global network through Techstars, an organization that works with entrepreneurs.
The nine startups in this year’s Cedars-Sinai Accelerator class are:
- ALIS Health
- CardioCube
- Digital Medical Tech
- KelaHealth
- MedPilot
- Nicolette
- Relatable
- Sopris
- SureConsent
“It’s exciting to see these founders and their teams using innovative technologies to tackle a variety of healthcare challenges,” Anne Wellington, managing director of the Cedars-Sinai Accelerator, said in the health system’s July 10 statement. “Some offer solutions that will be used by patients and front-line clinical staff, while others are focused on supporting medical device technicians, billing office staff or supply chain analysts.”
