HEXCITE: Excited for Healthcare
A medical software pre-accelerator startup generator program for entrepreneurs.

Care providers with an idea who are eager to drive change within their practice are matched with business, design, and technical team members to work together in creating a software solution that will improve patient care. Weekly, expert-led sessions help teams navigate the first steps of business and technical design using the Lean Start-up methodology which focuses on growing a business with maximum acceleration.
