We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our #BPWinter2015 class! Stay tuned for tweet intros from the newest members of the #BPHFamily!
— Blueprint Health (@bphealth) February 5, 2015
Blueprint Health welcomes its seventh class of startups to its New York City offices for three months of coding and networking as the new digital health entrepreneurs work toward their culminating event, an April 24 demo day to investors and potential customers. The new class includes startups working in telehealth, online insurance shopping, remote patient monitoring, and genetics analytics.
Startups participating in the Winter 2015 class will receive $20,000 in seed capital and $70,000 in free services, including legal services to help with incorporation, 12 months of cloud hosting credit, consultations with professional UX designers, recruitment support, and office space. Blueprint also claims to have the largest network of senior-level digital health mentors. While seed funding and free services are attractive to any entrepreneur, it is the feedback of these mentors, and the subsequent opportunity to present to VCs at the demo day, that draw most entrepreneurs to the program. In exchange, Blueprint Health takes a six-percent equity stake in the company.
Rather than publishing a traditional press release to introduce the startups joining its next class, Blueprint Health took to Twitter to break the news. Welcome to the newest class of Blueprint Health startups.
