Be in the Room for the 11th Annual Barracuda Bowl
November 17, 2026 | Mintz, Boston
See emerging point-of-care companies present their technologies before investors and healthcare industry leaders in a live Shark Tank-style pitch event.
Hear the Barracudas examine clinical value, evidence, market opportunity, adoption, differentiation, and scale. The afternoon will also feature a fireside chat on the regulatory, reimbursement, and fundraising decisions that shape the path to market—plus opportunities to connect with founders, investors, and members of the healthcare innovation ecosystem.
Beyond the Pitch: A Candid Fireside Chat
Join Kristofer Munroe of PRIA Healthcare and Barry Sands, Founder and President of RQMIS, for a conversation about the decisions that can determine whether a promising healthcare technology reaches the market.
Hear how regulatory strategy, clinical evidence, reimbursement, market access, and fundraising work together — and why point-of-care innovators need to consider them early.
