Summary
“We are excited to pair these finalists up with venture capitalists to help mentor and assist them on stage with their final pitch,” Morgenthaler partner Rebecca Lynn said in a statement. “With the industry’s growth over the past four years, we now have several accelerators focused exclusively on digital health, but no one is giving direct access to venture capitals as mentors and sponsors. Morgenthaler invited any digital health startup doing business in the U.S. with under $3 million in funding, a working product or prototype, and a defined monetization strategy to apply to join the showcase. Sandstone’s leading product, Trak, is a consumer semen analysis platform that provides a simple and accurate way to monitor sperm quality from the comfort of home. “This year we saw way more mature companies who spanned across enterprise and consumer solutions.” Wade Roush is a freelance science and technology journalist and the producer and host of the podcast Soonish.
