Nominating Partners

How It Works

1. Identify Startups: Use your network to find startups aligned with the program’s focus areas, including medical devices, robotics, and diagnostics within neuro and cardiovascular health and meeting the criteria outlined above. 
2. Vet Startups: Ensure the startups meet credibility standards. This should be easy as you will know them already!
3. Nominate Startups: You can nominate as many startups as you would like. Endorsed startups will complete the application process themselves. There is no additional administrative work required from Nominating Partners. We will be accepting nominated startups from March 15th to April 30th.

It’s Easy

We make the process easy for you to be a Nominating Partner by providing:

• Pre-drafted email templates, flyers, and promotional content for social media to share with your network.
• Clear instructions on the nomination process.
• Ongoing support from our team to answer any questions or provide additional materials as needed.
• Limited Time Commitment: We expect the time commitment to be limited as you most likely know who you would want to nominate. You just need to send us a list of those organizations you are endorsing by May 5th so we can cross check against those that apply! You will not have any additional administrative responsibilities.
