DayOne healthtech accelerator launches new offering

Three new verticals will support a wider community of innovators from concept to mid-stage ventures. Each selected team will receive equity-free funding up to CHF 100,000 in addition to 1-2-1 coaching, tailored mentoring and training, workspace, industry-wide visibility and access to DayOne’s 2,000+ network of key digital health experts and health innovation partners – including global players such as Novartis, Roche, Bayer and Takeda.

The three verticals include:

Digital Health Nation

Stages include identifying customer needs and feasibility, determining profitability and product creation to turn hypotheses into a minimum viable product with up to CHF 20,000 non-dilutive funding.

DayOne Tech
A 12 month program for medtech startups, offering the funding, space (Canton of Jura), and guidance needed to turn prototypes into medical devices ready for market launch. It includes up to 150 hours of coaching and up to CHF 100,000 non-dilutive funding to support ambitious milestones and long term business success.

DayOne Health 4.0
A 12 week intense program for early (pre-seed) to mid-stage (pre-series B) digital health ventures from all over the world looking to scale into a successful pharmaceutical business. Entrepreneurs will gain access to a personal coach and advisors, engage with DayOne’s pharma partners along the program to build a business model at their interface and showcase their collaboration proposal at a private Demo Day. Winners will also receive up to CHF 15,000 non-dilutive funding to work on priority areas and get the venture closer to a potential collaboration with DayOne partners.

Located in Europe’s healthtech capital, applicants across all verticals can benefit from access to world-leading research institutes as well as an extensive pool of specialists and collaborators with which to grow their company.
