About the Organization

Founded in 2009 in Boston, MA, MassChallenge’s mission is to equip bold entrepreneurs to disrupt the status quo and create meaningful change.

MassChallenge connects startups, experts, corporations, and communities to grow and transform businesses and economies. We do this work because entrepreneurship is a uniquely vigorous force in driving progress against humanity’s greatest challenges, creating opportunity for individuals, and generating jobs for our economy. We work across sectors to drive a stronger future through collaborative innovation, and support all founders whether they fit or break the traditional venture mold.

About the Program

The MassChallenge 2024 Healthcare Challenge Program is committed to supporting healthcare startups on their journey toward early commercialization and scaling. This program is sponsored by industry-leading corporates, known as Challenge Partners, who seek innovative startups in specific areas and collaborate with MassChallenge to deliver the program.

Our 2024 Healthcare Challenge Program Challenge Partners include MassMutual, Novo Nordisk, Point32Health, and Vertex Pharmaceuticals. Selected startups will work directly with these partners throughout the program to address their challenge statements to drive solutions in areas like digital and mobile health, AI in healthcare, health equity and access, medical devices and wearables, chronic disease management, and more.

Program participants gain access to the extensive MassChallenge community, which includes experienced mentors, successful entrepreneurs, investors, and industry experts. The program’s curriculum is specifically designed to enable startup founders to build continuous traction through engagement with corporate partners. We also provide targeted guidance through Experts in Residence (EIRs) with industry expertise.
