DC To VC: An Inside Look At The Winners Of Morganthalers Health Tech Startup Showcase

health_tech1Last week, Morganthaler Ventures, the 40-year-old Sand Hill Road VC firm wrapped up its "DC to VC Startup Showcase", a nationwide contest geared towards finding the most promising young health tech startups. From nearly 200 applicants, the pool was whittled down to eleven finalists, which presented to an invite-only crowd of VCs, angel investors and entrepreneurs. The companies were then categorized according to whether they were seeking seed funding or looking to raise their series A. The live audience of over 350 health tech enthusiasts, as well as those watching on live stream, put the finishing touch on the months-long competition, selecting the winners (after commentary from a panel of VC and entrepreneurial judges). The winner of the seed round contest was EyeNetra, an affordable, mobile diagnostic tool for our eyes, and Jiff Inc. took top prize in the series A flight with its HIPAA-compliant iPad platform for patient communication and education.
