About Hackovate Health Innovation Competition
With a new era of healthcare on the door step and more than three out of four consumers unaware of the role of the 2012 tax return on their health care coverage next fall, H&R Block and early-stage business incubator and startup accelerator, Think Big Partners, announce the creation of Hackovate Healthcare 2013. The competition is designed to identify innovative mobile, online, social and other applications that help consumers navigate the new healthcare landscape.
Teams, big and small, are encouraged to compete in the competition, which culminates in H&R Block identifying 10 teams to convene in Kansas City in February 2013. The Hackovate process will involve coaching and mentoring from business, policy and investor community leaders in the entrepreneurship and healthcare arenas. This isn’t just another open innovation competition. This is a potential opportunity to take your big idea and quickly turn it a joint-venture partnership, strategic relationship or a potentially build a brand new company together
