Four dozen teams, each with an idea of how to address a big need in healthcare, were born at the OHSU Invent-a-thon last October. Over half are still developing the ideas that emerged that weekend, many in accelerators or connected to advisors met at Invent-a-thon.
Six months later, the most investment-ready teams will return to the virtual stage to share their vision with the world and compete for follow-on funding and support. Partner investor groups include AngelMD, Elevate Capital, Angel Capital Association, Portland Seed Fund, Aventurine, and TiE Oregon.
Come cheer on the finalists at the Post Hack as they present their plans and compete for cash prizes totaling $40k plus mentorship and guidance from investors — and then celebrate the winners!
