Health Wildcatters’ focus is early stage healthcare startups that come from a variety of niches. Healthcare IT, digital health, mobile health companies, medical device, diagnostic and pharma companies have found their way into our portfolio.
Health Wildcatters provides an initial seed investment and mentorship for startups in the early stages of funding and development. The healthcare niche brings up a few more twists, but that makes it more interesting. The specific challenges of selling into the healthcare market, dealing with regulatory constraints and the slower pace of adoption are why we are here.
Health Wildcatters expanded into a larger role, which focuses on healthcare innovation beyond their accelerator program, when they officially opened up their new space at 1910 Pacific. The space features an event and presentation area, a co-working space, as well as private offices. HW has expanded their reach to provide a resource center for various healthcare organizations and thought leaders.
