HealthTech Arkansas

HealthTech Arkansas is an accelerator and early-stage investment fund that guarantees at least two pilot projects or clinical trials for each early-stage company admitted to the program. These pilots are conducted by the eleven provider organizations in our statewide coalition. We target three areas of healthcare innovation: digital health (software), medical devices, and diagnostic platforms. Our program is for providers and by providers, so we seek technologies that can improve our providers’ operations by improving quality of care, enhancing efficiencies, reducing costs, etc. In fact, our providers choose the companies invited to participate in the program each year. Our program is virtual, so there’s no requirement to be in Arkansas other than when you’ll be here to work with your provider partners on your pilot projects or clinical trials. In addition to the guaranteed pilots, participating companies receive $75,000 of investment capital through a SAFE or convertible note.
