Christian Seale is the founder and managing director of Startupbootcamp Digital Health, a business accelerator operating in Europe and Asia that launched its first U.S. program with $2 million from Knight Foundation.

If you or someone you know is reshaping the future of healthcare Startupbootcamp Digital Health wants to help.

Our applications close on Friday, June 10. So, the time to act is now.

We are looking for entrepreneurs working at the intersection of health care and technology and focused on making our health care system more equitable, efficient and accessible for all.

Miami is the second largest health care district in the United States, counts a legacy of successful health care companies—Simply Health, Navarro Health, Teva and MAKO Surgical—and sits at the crossroads of the Americas. Our city has a unique opportunity to become a globally recognized hub for health care innovation, and form, build and scale companies that improve health care delivery and outcomes for all populations, especially the growing U.S. Hispanic population (more on that here).

In Miami, we are proud to have partnered with Knight Foundation, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, the University of Miami Health System, Univision and Microsoft to make this vision a reality. We’ve recently brought MIT Hacking Medicine to Miami, traveled to over 20 cities to find the best health care entrepreneurs globally and plug them into our growing ecosystem, and built out a national network of health care providers, insurance companies and investors to help our entrepreneurs refine and scale their companies.

We now ask for your help. If you or someone you know is transforming health care encourage them to apply to our intense acceleration program.

Our promise is simple: Companies will achieve one year of progress in three months. Take a look at the over 300 startups that have already done so.

For the companies selected for our program we will provide seed funding, mentorship, six months of free office space in the heart of Miami, in-kind services from Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, Salesforce for Startups, Intel and Paypal, and access to the most relevant network of corporate clients, investors and mentors.

During our program, companies will interact with a national network of health care providers and insurers, including Ascension, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, Jackson Health System, the University of Miami Health System, Duke University Health System, Mount Sinai, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Florida Blue, Aetna and Healthways, among many others. Over 100 mentors will help our companies refine, grow and scale your business and prepare them present at our 400-plus attendee demo day in Miami.

Miami’s time is now. Help us build the city into a globally recognized hub for innovation and together transform the future of healthcare.
