Over the past four years, one of our strongest collaborators at HealthTech Arkansas has been MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) based in Los Angeles, which bills itself as the largest accelerator of medical devices in the world. About half of all HealthTech Arkansas cohort companies over the past four years have been MTI graduates, so MTI is obviously a great referral source for us.
Recently, MTI’s founder and CEO, Paul Grand, co-wrote an article that highlights six trends that could shape the future of medtech. It’s a fascinating article backed by data gleaned by MTI from their 10 years of operations and their applicant pool of over 1,000 companies annually. These trends cover startup funding, areas of innovation, and the increasing emphasis on diversity, equity and inclusion in medtech innovation. You can see the full article here.
MedTech Innovator is currently accepting applications for its 2022 accelerator programs, and $1M in non-dilutive funding will be awarded in 2022, along with corporate mentorship and many other benefits. As a partner to MTI, HealthTech Arkansas' newsletter readers can get an extended deadline of February 15 and a priority review by clicking here.
