War on COVID Crowd Challenge Finals

MedStartr started in 2008 as a volunteer organization of doctors, patients, students, managers, and professionals gathering monthly to discuss innovative healthcare ideas in NYC as Health 2.0 NYC. On July 4th, 2012 we launchedMedStartr.comand quickly became the leading crowdfunding site focused on Healthcare Innovation.  In 2013 we started running Challenges for government agencies, non-profits, and corporations, driving massive engagement online and off for the best new ideas in healthcare.  With over 180 events in 25 cities so far, MedStartr is one of the largest global healthcare innovation communities in the world.  We are happy that our challenges and programs have helped millions of people and thousands of organizations connect to medical innovations, helping new ideas get out of the lab and into care faster. In 2017 we opened up our first investment fund dedicated to investing in the best companies in healthcare innovation.  To learn more please visitMedStartr.com,MedStartr.vcandMedStartr.nyc;email us atevents@medstartr.com; or just pick up the phone and call us at 530.MED.STAR (530.633.7827)To see footage from past events please visitMedStartr.tv.In 2016 we launched the MedStartr Momentum Road Show and expanded it to a World Tour in 2020.  Join us at one of our events or apply to pitch at the next onehere!To become a member of the community and receive special discounts and our Newsletters, please join the community atMedStartr.com/global.Thank you for your support.
