Do you have an idea for a new Digital Health Startup but are looking for the right partner to launch it with? Or are you someone who's experienced in the healthcare space either as a previous founder or operator, want to start something new, but don't have an idea yet? If that's the case, a venture studio may be a good route for you to explore.
If a venture studio is a new term for you, High Alpha describes it as a location that tries to create numerous companies in rapid succession. The goal of this process is to start multiple companies quickly with the hope that one will find tremendous success.
Whereas accelerators and incubators are great options for companies with an established idea or product, venture studios are a great 3rd option for people at the earliest stage.
To make it easier for you to find a venture studio to work with, we've compiled a list of over 20 venture studios based in the U.S. that have or are building companies related to digital health.
If you're planning to launch a new digital health company, we'd love to connect to see how Tellescope can help accelerate your product development. Email us at inquiries@tellescope.com.
