East Coast Pitch Event: April 2 & 3, 2024
The MedTech Innovator Road Tour is a series of pitch events held in the US, internationally, and virtually. Each event features outstanding medical device, diagnostic, or digital health companies selected from this year’s pool of over 1,000 applications. The East Coast stop will be in Washington D.C. on Tuesday, April 2 and Wednesday, April 3, and will open with a judge’s reception on Monday, April 1. Invited startups have the opportunity to meet and receive feedback from MedTech Innovator partners, such as Asahi Intecc, BD, Dexcom, Edwards Lifesciences, Johnson & Johnson, NIPRO, and Olympus, and W.L. Gore as well as other members of the ecosystem. Importantly, the East Coast Pitch Event serves as a critical step in selecting the participants for the MedTech Innovator 2024 cohort.
Additionally, a subset of the MedTech Innovator pitch companies will also be in consideration for our Heart and Brain Health Accelerator in partnership with the American Heart Association Center for Health Technology & Innovation and the Military Medicine Accelerator in partnership with the Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC).

Logistics
A total of 60 companies will pitch over the two day event, 30 on day 1 and 30 on day 2. Each day of the event will be split between a morning and an afternoon session, with each session featuring 15 startups. We will begin each session with a lightning round of one-minute pitches from each of the companies in that session. Then we will move into pre-assigned judging groups, where you will evaluate 5 companies per session. If you are present for both sessions you will see a maximum of 10 companies pitch per day.
These pitch rounds will each be 20 minute blocks of time per company evaluation: a five minute pitch and 15 minutes for Q&A and discussion. After this time we will rotate the companies and repeat. You will fill out and submit a judging form via a provided tablet for each company that you see pitch.
The dress code is business casual.
