For Entrepreneurs
HealthTech Capital is a group of private investors dedicated to funding and mentoring new "HealthTech" start ups at the intersection of healthcare with the computer and mobility worlds. HealthTech Capital is creating a new ecosystem with leading edge clinical providers, venture firms and other industry players.
In addition to providing seed and early stage funding, HealthTech Capital members actively mentor the entrepreneurial team. We work closely with entrepreneurs to prove technical and market feasibility, develop sound business models, attract permanent senior management, provide industry contacts, and bring in additional angel or venture capital financing. We serve as strategic advisors, board members, and board observers. The value add to companies is significant, and compensation in the form of common stock options is expected.
