MedCity’s successful INVEST Pitch Perfect startup contest unveiled in Chicago during the annual INVEST conference in May 2017 is traveling to the Twin Cities.

The contest is only open to digital health startups who will pitch to investors during the inaugural INVEST Twin Cities Conference, Oct. 12. The Twin Cities event is a satellite conference to MedCity INVEST and is aimed at highlighting innovations in the digital health industry.

So who can apply to be selected?

Digital health startups who have had at least one seed round of funding — could be a friends-and-family round — are invited to apply. Selected startups will pitch to three judges live in front of the gathered audience.

Entrepreneur pitches will be followed by a rapid Q&A session with the judges who will score their presentations based on a number of factors including quality of presentation. Winners will be announced shortly thereafter.

Digital health startups that meet the following criteria and are interested in seeing how they stack up next to the most innovative healthcare startups nationally, should apply now.

  • Companies must have completed at least one round of seed financing prior to the conference.
  • Companies should currently be seeking or intend to seek additional rounds of capital within six to 12 months of the conference.

There is no application fee and the deadline to apply is Aug. 15. To apply, please click here.
