Meet the Health Transformers Headed to Apollo House
Next week in San Francisco, founders, funders, and leaders from across the StartUp Health community gather at Apollo House during JPM Healthcare Week to accelerate Health Moonshots in the Age of Superintelligence.
Next week, StartUp Health returns to San Francisco as the global health innovation community converges during JPM Healthcare Week – with the launch of Apollo House. What makes this gathering extraordinary is not just the setting or the moment in history, but the people in the room.
Leaders from across the StartUp Health community will come together alongside visionaries including Vinod Khosla, Stacy Feld, Sami Inkinen, Richard Lui, Dr. Angela Shippy, Margaret Laws, Lisa Suennen, Lee Shapiro, Dr. Brian Caveney, Dr. Rasu Shrestha, Dr. Robert Gabbay, Chelsea Sumner, Mark Andrews, Dr. Daniel Kraft, Mark Goldstein, and many more to accelerate Health Moonshots in the Age of Superintelligence.
This year’s Apollo House is co-hosted with SVB, Johnson & Johnson, AWS Healthcare & Life Sciences, and Advocate Health, and supported by the California Health Care Foundation, Cooley, Baker Tilly, Morgan Lewis, Hopelab, 7wire Ventures, Clearwater, Escalon, DHHF, ScaleHealth, ATDev, Extrico Health, Verifiable, Seen Health, and docology. Together, we are convening founders, funders, researchers, policymakers, and partners committed to solving the world’s biggest health challenges.
From AI-powered diagnostics and personalized nutrition to breakthroughs in Alzheimer’s, mental health, cardiometabolic disease, and more, the Health Transformers attending Apollo House represent the front lines of the health moonshot movement. These are the founders, clinicians, scientists, and operators building the future of health inside the StartUp Health community with urgency, creativity, and purpose.
