#SuryaRay #Surya Back in June, Silicon Valley’s health-focused startup accelerator, Rock Health, kicked off its third program. What was notable about this third batch — other than the encouraging fact that a health-only accelerator has made it to its third batch (props also to Blueprint Health in NYC, now on its second) — was the promise of its future academic pedigree. That is to say, Rock Health co-founder Halle Tecco told us that it was the first time a health incubator had sent its startups into a hospital to learn about the industry first-hand. The third batch spent the summer building their businesses in Boston and gaining experience at the Harvard Medical School — in what I’m calling the “Rock Health Residency.” Yesterday, back from the east coast, the startups participated in Rock Health’s third “Demo Day” in Mountain View, showcasing their businesses to a house full of investors and entrepreneurs. http://dlvr.it/27PH0g @suryaray
