Psst! Another Great Opportunity for Health StartUps: Apply to SXSW Accelerator

We were blown away last year by the amazing discussion, innovation, and camaraderie that occurred among health startups at SXSW last year.  This year have been working with a number of others in the community to make sure this trend continues in an effort to give health innovators a bigger voice at this event and among the interactive community at large.  We certainly want to do everything we can to make sure that is the case, which is why we are calling on all qualifying health startups to consider applying for the SXSW Accelerator so you can demo your new products and get more exposure.

StartUp Health is honored to both present this year and also be on the advisory board of the SXSW Accelerator.  We hope you will spread the word to other health innovators and entrepreneurs asap so we can make sure the health and wellness community is well represented among the presenting companies.  It's a great opportunity for startups to get exposure and show the world how your solutions are going to change the world.
