Meet the sixth group of Rock Health companies

It is with much excitement and pride that we present seven of the newest Rock Health startups, who are part of a portfolio of nearly 50 active companies tackling some of the most significant problems in healthcare. Over the past five months, they have received funding and support from Rock Health and will continue to receive support throughout their lifespan. This diverse group of companies ranges from an analytics tool for the ICU to an impeccably designed dentist office on wheels.

 

Why no Demo Day this time? Last September, I explained on our blog that in 2014 “there won’t be general Demo Days marking the end of a term; instead, we’ll host targeted events to position your company in front of large groups of the right kinds of people (customers, investors, payers, doctors, or CIOs.) every few months.”

Tomorrow marks our first of such showcases — this time exclusively for health plans and large employers.  The event will feature 11 Rock Health companies (from various classes) and attendees who represent 2/3s of all insured Americans. We think this more focused event will be more productive for everyone.

Regardless, we didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to share this latest batch of companies with the world. We continue to be delighted and humbled by the talented founders who chose to join the Rock Health family.
