Coming Soon: StartUp Health Academy to Announce Next Class in July!
StartUp Health is reviewing applications for our next class of Healthcare Transformers which we will announce later in July. Due to the overwhelming number of applications we have received we have decided to extend the review period for the next class by two weeks. If you haven’t heard from us we are still in the process of reviewing every application thoroughly. Additionally, we have additional classes which will be announced later this year. As always, feel free to reach out to us if you have any updates since you submitted your original application. If you have not yet applied, you can still
apply today. We have a rolling admissions process; even if you aren’t invited to our next class, you will be considered for future classes. We want to hear all about you, your company, and how you plan to disrupt healthcare! Be sure to
