StartUp Health Returns to JPM Healthcare Week with APOLLO HOUSE
StartUp Health announces ‘Apollo House,’ an exclusive networking summit during JPM Healthcare Week, bringing together 500 top founders, funders, and industry leaders to advance Health Moonshots in the Age of Superintelligence.
By Unity Stoakes
We’re thrilled to share that this January, StartUp Health is returning to JPM Healthcare Week for the first time since 2020 – and we’re coming back with something entirely new.
We’re launching APOLLO HOUSE, an intimate, high-energy founders-and-funders summit designed exclusively for our Health Moonshot members and a curated guest list of 500 top Health Transformers, investors, and industry leaders.
APOLLO HOUSE – Save the Date
January 13, 2026
4:00–8:00 PM PST
SVB Experience Center, Market Street, San Francisco
We’re honored that Vinod Khosla will join us for an interactive fireside chat on Health Moonshots in the Age of Superintelligence, with additional special guests to be announced soon.
Hosted in the iconic SVB Experience Center and co-hosted with partners at SVB and Johnson & Johnson, Apollo House will bring together a vibrant community for meaningful conversations, curated connections, and bold thinking about how we accelerate the transformation of health in 2026 and beyond. We may even decide to do an after party to keep the party going. Let’s see. :)
Why Now
Since StartUp Health began in 2011, we’ve believed that AI would become a core driver of exponential innovation in health. Since our last big convening, that moment has arrived. We’re at the steep part of the curve – where breakthroughs compound, where once-impossible ideas become real, and where our “crazy optimism” from the past 15 years suddenly looks on time.
This is the moment to lean in: to accelerate progress, to shape the future with care, and to openly discuss how to harness superintelligence while navigating the profound challenges ahead.
Apollo House is built to speed the momentum our ecosystem has been working so hard to bring to accelerate – and to turn it into action with new collaborations.
What to Expect
In just one day, you’ll make the kind of connections that usually take a year to make (even when you have a key to the back door).
You’ll meet:
Top founders from StartUp Health’s community like Sami Inkinen, CEO of Virta
Leading VC partners from General Catalyst, 7wire Ventures, Gates Ventures, a16z, and others.
A hundred corporate innovators at global leaders like Johnson & Johnson, Eli Lilly, Google, OpenAI, and beyond
Mission-driven changemakers building bold ideas and transformative breakthroughs
World-class thinkers like Vinod Khosla exploring the intersection of health, AI, technology
Most importantly, you’ll be part of a global movement advancing the health moonshots that matter most.
This experience is made possible with early support from partners such as SVB, J&J, CHCF, 7wire Ventures, Clearwater, and Morgan Lewis. We’re grateful for their commitment to the startup ecosystem – especially as JPM Week becomes more expensive each year.
If your organization wants to collaborate or sponsor, we’d love to talk as we are seeking additional partners today.
