EVENT DETAILS
Health tech is one of the fastest growing industries. Last year, $11.5 billion of capital was poured into health tech companies ($3.5B more than 2016).
In this boom, New York City has emerged as a major hub for health tech startups, & home to major players in the game like ZocDoc, Oscar Health, & Blink Health, & for new companies like Roman & Smart Vision Labs.
Although health tech startups face challenges many other companies don't - they have to deal with established giants like hospital systems, insurers, drugmakers, while navigating regulations & laws that make it difficult to enter the market.
Through all these hurdles we've seen health tech companies make our lives better by offering easier access to doctors, medicine, insurance, & more.
Join us as we find out what it takes to build a health tech startup in NYC! We'll discuss

Hiring a team for a health tech startup
Testing & launching an MVP
Building momentum for your product
Adhering to rules & regulations
Helpful tools to use
Finding the correct target market for your product
Investors & ways to get funding
And much more!
