My experience as an MTI Fellow was truly transformative. I had the privilege of working alongside a passionate group of individuals dedicated to advancing healthcare and life science technologies. The program provided an incredible opportunity to learn about the latest innovations in the market, and I thoroughly enjoyed working with startups throughout their entire journey in the accelerator—from selecting companies for pitches to advising them on their business plans and go-to-market strategies. Collaborating with both PhDs and MBAs was a highlight, as was the team’s openness with their time, always willing to share their knowledge and insights. The program opened countless doors within the biotech and medtech industries, allowing me to network with people across the field and form meaningful relationships. Overall, it was an invaluable experience that deepened my understanding of the industry and enriched my professional journey. Thank you MTI!"
