Healthworx Accelerator Is Coming to Your City — And We're Searching for the 2026 Cohort
Healthcare doesn't transform itself. It takes founders willing to build in one of the hardest, most regulated, and most consequential industries in the world. It takes teams who see the system not just as it is, but as it could be.
That's exactly who we're looking for.
Healthworx Accelerator is prepping for the 2026 cohort – and to kick things off, we're hitting the road to meet and mingle with healthtech founders. Here's everything you need to know.
About Healthworx Accelerator
Healthworx Accelerator exists to find and fuel the innovations that make healthcare work better for everyone. We back early-stage health ventures building at the intersection of technology and healthcare – companies tackling access, outcomes, cost, and the deep operational complexity that keeps the system from reaching its full potential.
Our network, our programming, and our community are built entirely around healthcare and the payer landscape. That focus is our differentiator – and it's what makes the Healthworx community uniquely valuable to the founders we work with.
Selected cohort companies gain access to:
Expert-designed curriculum: curriculum designed around the unique regulatory, clinical, and commercial dynamics of scaling a health business, specifically from the payer perspective.
Industry minds and resources: access to our network of advisors to help you scale with real-world relevance from day one.
A peer community: cohort founders who are navigating the same challenges, in the same industry, at the same stage
What We’re Looking For
We're sourcing for early-stage health ventures that are ready to scale. The strongest applications will come from founders who:
Are building in health tech, digital health, or healthcare services
Have a clear, scalable product or model that is currently in or ready to launch into market
Are solving meaningful, systemic problems in the healthcare ecosystem
Are based in or building for the US market
If you're asking whether you're too early or too late – apply and let us decide. We'd rather hear from you than not.

Applications open September 14th.
