Blueprint Health is a TechStars affiliated startup accelerator program based in NYC that helps early stage healthcare companies get started. Over the course of a 3 month program, Blueprint will provide support to entrepreneurs who are building innovative companies at the intersection of health and technology by providing $20,000 of seed capital, a shared work environment, and most critically, access to a broad range of mentors with deep healthcare, start-up and technology experience to support and to provide guidance to the teams.

What type of applicants does Blueprint look for? First and foremost, smart, passionate and coachable entrepreneurs! Especially since this is early stage, it is very much about the people/team, the problem they are trying to solve and surrounding them with the right resources. Beyond that, Blueprint looks for health, healthcare, and wellness companies, typically with an information technology aspect (pharma and devices are not within the investment purview). Examples may include companies that improve communication in hospitals, help people improve their lifestyles, marketing tools for providers and plans, clinical decision support tools, health education, and tools to aggregate and analyze healthcare data to save money or for innovation discovery.

Interested in applying? The deadline to apply for the Winter program is November 13. For more information and to apply, check out www.BlueprintHealth.org

As a disclosure, Christopher Tsai, Co-Founder of careinnovators, has joined Blueprint Health as a mentor.
