Frequently Asked Questions
-
Health Engine recruits two cohorts each year. Fall cohort recruitment starts around August and winter cohort recruitment usually starts in December. We look at applications on a rolling basis. When the application form is released we will post on Twitter, LinkedIn, and here on our website.
-
Standup is held every week for founders to commune about their wins and losses in the past week, share tips and ideas, as well conduct activities. Founders are encouraged to bring questions and help each other navigate difficult situations. Standup is a great place for founders to interact with one another and has often been the start of new partnerships or introductions.
-
Demo Day is an event that takes place at the end of the cohort. Each startup pitches and could get introduced to investors in attendance. Attendees are investors specifically working in healthcare or adjacent sectors, healthcare industry leaders, and students interested in the startups space.
-
Grants are provided through some of our partners like Roivant Sciences or SOMPO Digital Lab. Our partners look to support companies that align with their missions. Each cohort, we communicate with our partners to determine which companies would make good candidates for a grant, and set up a conversation from there.
