We’re excited to open applications for startups to present at MedCity INVEST, the only national healthcare investing conference based in the Midwest. We’re seeking at least 30 early-stage companies and entrepreneurs from all sectors and parts of the country to present to leading, active venture capitalists, angel investors and corporate development executives.
The conference (formerly known as the MidAmerica Healthcare Venture Forum) is April 12-13 in Chicago. Companies will present the afternoon of April 12, but will also have the opportunity to attend the entire conference and participate in workshops designed to improve their products. For example, a team from the Jefferson School of Population Health will work with showcase companies to optimize their products with population health in mind.
