As Dave Chase wrote earlier this year, the healthtech space is heating up, and a lot of serial entrepreneurs with consumer web experience are turning their focus to fixing some of the big problems inherent in the legacy health systems we have today in the U.S. and abroad. Yet, in spite of the $1 billion pool VCs have poured into startups last year, for example, healthtech startups, specifically, aren't seeing a lot of that capital. There are a lot of challenges inherent to launching a healthtech startup that companies in the consumer web just don't have to deal with, HIPAA-compliance, among others.While it's difficult for all startups, establishing B2B relationships and intricate partnerships is no simple task. That's where health-focused accelerators like Rock Health come into the picture. (And we need more.) Rock Health has a great list of mentors (more here), and list of financial and health-related partners is growing fast as well.
