I can make a difference in healthcare
A collaborative, community-driven process to vet, validate, and vote on the best companies, technologies, solutions and models for advancing safety net healthcare priorities in Colorado and California through innovation and collaboration.
Numbers
Together, we have…
Vetted and validated more than 500 health innovation solutions
Built more than 45 health innovation pilots and partnerships
Awarded more than $1.3 million in prize funding since 2014
Commitments
Review and judge a cohort of 4-7 companies matched with you based on your area of interest or expertise
Each judging window is open for 3+ weeks. Each company takes an average of 30 minutes to review. There are two rounds of judging. Applications are reviewed in the Challenge Competition platform/portal.
Participate in a Judging Consensus Meeting at the end of each round
As each Judge has only reviewed a segment of the total number of companies, this event brings our Judges together to review and discuss the total pool and make final decisions collaboratively on who will advance to the next round.
Participate in the Challenge Speed Networking event
This event provides an opportunity for Judges to meet Challenge companies, learn more about their solutions, ask questions, and provide feedback.
Attend the Virtual Live Pitch Event in October 2024
Join us to see the top 6 finalists you helped select pitch for the chance to win a portion of $150,000 and a pilot partnership in Colorado
Participating as a judge does not mean you are required to host a pilot. No commitments related to pilot hosting occur until the final round and are at your discretion.
