The Cedars-Sinai Accelerator

The Cedars-Sinai Accelerator is transforming healthcare quality, efficiency, and care delivery by helping entrepreneurs bring their innovative technology products to market. The Program, based in Los Angeles, California, provides companies with a financial investment, mentorship from more than 300 leading clinicians and executives, access to Cedars-Sinai, and exposure to a broad network of healthcare experts, including health system executives from a wide range of organizations, experienced healthcare entrepreneurs, other industry advisers, and healthcare investors. Since 2016, the accelerator has helped dozens of companies transform healthcare delivery and patient care. Cedars-Sinai Accelerator+ supports the growth and development of early-stage companies focused on improving healthcare and healthcare delivery. Building a successful company in healthcare takes more than a great idea. At Cedars-Sinai, we help entrepreneurs develop and scale innovative companies through mentorship, guidance, and access to our health system. There is no better way to navigate healthcare’s complexities than to work inside an active medical center—giving companies a deeper understanding of their potential customers and the environment they’re building for. For each company selected, we provide first-in-class mentorship and networking, as well as financial investment. Funding is only one part of what we provide. Participant companies value the access to Cedar-Sinai, mentorship, and overall support as much as the financial investment itself. We invest the time and expertise of stakeholders across the health system to advance solutions we believe will meaningfully improve care and care delivery.
