So you want to build a start-up accelerator?

Wednesday, March 13, 2013, 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm in Lake Mary, FL; 5th Annual Leadership Summit on Health Plan Innovation

Why not combine the best parts (contributions) of a start-up company with the necessary (working) parts of a legacy company to form something both new and necessary? There has been a lot of movement in the launching of healthcare vertical-specific accelerators that bring together legacy healthcare companies into partnerships with entrepreneurs and health start-ups. The quid pro quo is to create learning and business opportunities for the startups and affect the legacy company with agility and innovation. Some recent examples are DreamIt Ventures, Rock Health, Blueprint, Healthbox, New York Digital Health Accelerator and Startup Health to name a few. This panel is designed to inform and discuss a health plan or provider who might be looking at creating their own start-up accelerator.What You will Learn:
