We are looking for volunteer mentors, pitch coaches, and judges to support our budding Biotech/Medtech/HeatlhTech-related entrepreneurs! 

The HealthTech Startup Week will be based off the iconic Techstars Startup Weekend, but will be spread over a week.

More information about the event:

This opportunity is designed for students and trainees early in their entrepreneurship and innovation journey without any prior training or existing venture experience. Over the course of the week, participants will experience an all emcompasing entrepreneurial bootcamp, featuring workshops, mentor feedback, networking, market research, and team collaboration that culminates in a pitch competition. Participants will learn both the technical and inter-personal skills required to start a business and in doing so gain exposure to critical tools for success in their careers by being challenged to think creatively, communicate effectively, work in a team, and solve a self-identified problem.

If you are a student, postdoc, resident, fellow, or other trainee, and you're interested in participating, please RSVP here. If you're at UCSF and interested in helping organize this event (and get paid!), please apply here!
