BSTARTUP HEALTH 7TH OPEN CALL

BSTARTUP HEALTH

Healthcare Startups

For the seventh consecutive year, we are launching a call for applications for specific investment in health sector startups. Now more than ever, the importance of science and research cannot be overstated. That is why we are launching a new programme to support health projects at the pre-seed and seed funding stages, where investment is mainly aimed at validating the technology/research and the business itself. Up to three projects will be selected from among those presented by applicants throughout Spain.

BSTARTUP HEALTH

Investment objective

To drive initiatives for assessing projects (patentability studies, proofs of concept, prototypes, business plans, etc.) in order to arrive at subsequent funding rounds with sectoral venture capital (first VC rounds) in an optimal state of maturity and guarantees. In eHealth projects, the availability of the product/service on the market and of initial metrics will be considered a plus.

Offers

  • A support programme: BStartup Health will offer the selected startups mentoring by one of the prestigious members of the BStartup Health scientific and technical committee. The mentoring will consist of business advice at a strategic level, definition of the roadmap, advice in fundraising strategy, and more. The selected startups will also have access to some of the most relevant investors for their particular stage of development and activity, and will receive support from the BStartup team on getting ready for an investment round and preparation of the documents needed (business plan, investor’s deck, one page summary, etc).
