Applications are Open for the 11th Annual Barracuda Bowl!
The Barracuda Bowl returns this fall, bringing point-of-care startups together with investors, healthcare leaders, experienced entrepreneurs, and members of the M2D2 innovation ecosystem.
This Shark Tank-style event gives selected companies the opportunity to pitch their technologies, receive direct feedback from expert “Barracudas,” and make valuable connections that may lead to future funding, grant, mentorship, and program opportunities.
Point-of-care innovation can happen at the bedside, in the home, through remote monitoring, across a digital health platform, or anywhere a healthcare decision needs to be made.
Interested in Applying?
