Northwestern Medicine & Techstars Healthcare Accelerator
The Northwestern Medicine & Techstars Healthcare Accelerator's mission is to transform healthcare by investing in key areas like access to care, artificial intelligence, and digital therapeutics.

Transforming Healthcare
Health tech is one of the most consequential and complex sectors to build in, and the window for meaningful innovation is wide open. Across access to care, artificial intelligence, digital therapeutics, precision medicine, and clinical operations, the problems are urgent and the demand for solutions is real. We invest in founders tackling those problems directly. Startups work closely with Northwestern Medicine teams inside the Mansueto Innovation Institute, gaining mentorship and access to one of the country's leading healthcare ecosystems. This program is looking for companies enhancing patient experience, improving physician and nursing efficiency, and advancing the frontier in precision medicine, robotics, and cybersecurity. If you are building something that makes healthcare work better for the people delivering it and the people receiving it, this program was designed for you.
