StartUp Health Welcomes 10 New Companies to World’s Largest Digital Health Portfolio

StartUp Health’s rapidly expanding global network welcomes new companies from China, Latin America, and throughout the United States.

One thing that we’ve learned at StartUp Health is that our mission — to radically improve the health and wellbeing of everyone in the world — knows no national boundaries and will never be accomplished by a single entity. To that end, we’re excited to announce ten new companies that have joined our portfolio, bringing our global community to 235 startups from 20 countries. That’s over 400 entrepreneurs (one-third of whom are female founders) working in more than 80 cities around the world to achieve health moonshots together.

Meet StartUp Health’s newest companies, including our first company working to improve health in China.
