Yes. Sometimes we say no to companies because they are too early in their journey to extract the most value from MedTech Actuator™. 

Often these companies are good candidates for our early-stage competition, MedTech Actuator™ Origin. MedTech Actuator™ Origin will provide you with the opportunity to refine your technology and business model. It is free to enter and provides a small cash prize to the winner to develop their startup further. 

If you’ve applied for the Accelerator program in the past and continued to develop your company and technology — either within the MedTech Actuator™ Origin or on your own — you should consider reapplying for the MedTech Actuator™ Accelerator.

We have also set up these resources to help early-stage companies prepare their applications and learn more about the industry – make sure to check it out!
