Now, for the first time we will have a whole day focused oo helping 20 great early stage companies gather the momentum needed to get to the next level as they pitch to the investors, partners, early adopters, hospital leaders, and patient leaders that are ready to work with the next big idea. Please join us for MedStartr Momentum 2015 and help us bring the best new companies forward faster than ever.

Momentum Prize Package
When you win a pitch contest at MedStartr Momentum this year the prize package is pretty amazing. From our first pitch event where WellApps took home half the revenue from the pitch event we have crowdsourced our prize backages and this one is no different. It is still growing but so far includes up to 20K depending on how you count. If you were buying these services it would easily cost 50K or 6 percent of your company. Apply to win now or tell us how you would like to sponsor the package and get your startup-friendly services and brand out to our crowd.
Here is what you get so far:
 Awareness - Millions of impressions online and off that your company is ready for the big leagues (even making the finals is a big deal as you can see from our <A HREF="http://about.medstartr.com/1-7-million-for-cardio-startups/" REL="nofollow">last big contest</A>.
 Early Adopters - The audience is filled with people looking for great new ideas for themselves and their patients. Speaking at H2NYC, going live on MedStartr, and winning our contests has started over 10,000 new customer relationships for early stage healthcare companies. We can't guarantee it will happen, but it usually does. <A HREF="http://about.medstartr.com/the-value-of-a-championship/" REL="nofollow">See what happened to Interactive Health Technologies</A> when they won in 2014.
 Partnership Opportunities - Top finishers will win at least one meeting with key Partners and Panelists (Aetna, Novartis, NYCSeed,...)
 Acceleration & Syndication - Acceptance into the 2016 MedStartr Acceleration Program that has helped companies like CareSync, Misfit Wearables, DocGraph, and Avado close over 200M in funding and may include investment and syndication from the MedStartr Fund
