Enter 2014 MedTech Innovator Competition for $100k Prize

RCT Ventures has just announced a new opportunity for early-stage medical device companies: the 2014 MedTech Innovator competition.  Companies and university-stage teams are encouraged to apply.  Ten semi-finalists will be selected by a panel of medical device venture capitalists that will receive free registration to the Wilson Sonsini Medical Device conference.  There, a live audience will select the winner, who will receive the $100k grand prize.

RCT Ventures’ last contest, Medtech Idol, had a fascinating array of gadgety competition with Aventamed‘s impressive ear-tube placement device coming out on top.  When asked about the competition, Paul Grand, Managing Director for RCT Ventures said, “In today’s lean start-up model, the $100k prize should be enough to allow the winner to bridge the funding gap and achieve a milestone that can help them secure a larger funding round or critical industry partnership.”

The deadline to apply is May 19th and the application can be found here.
