Alzheimer’s Moonshot
Join a global community of founders and funders collaborating to prevent, diagnose, manage, and ultimately cure Alzheimer's disease.
StartUp Health is on a mission to solve the biggest health challenges of our time by creating and sustaining a global ecosystem of Health Moonshot Communities™.
Introducing a new initiative aimed at accelerating innovation around Alzheimer’s and related dementias. With support from the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF) and Gates Ventures, StartUp Health is breaking down silos and fostering meaningful collaboration between mission-aligned founders, funders, and partners.
Health Moonshot Champions
The true catalyst for the health moonshot, our champions, provide critical funding to support the Alzheimer’s Moonshot Community. They also guide the thesis and help accelerate momentum.
Anchoring the Alzheimer’s Moonshot are the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF) and Gates Ventures, with additional champions under consideration.
Alzheimer’s Moonshot Impact Board
Mission control for the health moonshot, the Impact Board consists of a cross-section of individuals all of whom have made significant contributions in the Alzheimer’s space.
It will comprise 10 innovative, mission-focused members from six key domains: entrepreneurship, philanthropy, academia, industry, investment, and patient advocacy.
The Alzheimer’s Moonshot Scorecard
This foundational measurement tool is at the center of a multi-step, data-driven process that ensures all prospective Health Transformers meet the criteria set out by the Impact Board and serves as a guideline for Alzheimer’s specific programming.
Fellowship Program
Health Transformer University (HTU) serves as the nucleus of our health moonshot ecosystem, fostering collaboration globally. Tailored for entrepreneurs and innovators, it offers essential tools, structures, and networks to accelerate innovation cycles and guide transformative solutions through all growth stages.
While numerous academic institutions advance science, technology, and biology, none focus globally on training startup founders for the challenges of building, commercializing, and scaling a digital health, biotech, or life sciences company. Empowering individuals to navigate complex regulations and secure funding, Health Transformer University provides a proven program and a supportive community. We understand the unique challenges they face and equip them to thrive.
