Last month we covered the nine healthcare start-ups that graduated from the second class of NYC-based accelerator Blueprint Health. Blueprint’s founder, Brad Weinberg, recently contacted us and let us know that “the second class is off to a great start and have raised nearly $3M from some of the most well-known and respected healthcare VCs and angels.” That brings the total raised by the two classes of Blueprint Health to around 7 million dollars.
If you’re currently working on a healthcare start-up (or if you’re a “Floating Founder”) and want to get in on this action, we have good news for you. Blueprint Health just opened up its application for its third class. It’s a short application, and if accepted your start-up can expect to “receive $20,000 in cash, over $50,000 in perks, office space at our SoHo office, and a community that is dedicated to seeing you succeed.”
The important dates and perks are included below. So what are you waiting for? Apply now!
