About m1 Medtech Accelerator

Early-stage medical devices companies need tangible benefits -we have them.

We are an accelerator/incubator designed to build MedTech companies. Our program offers capital, entrepreneurial expertise, and CRO services, as well as an immersive experience offering a hands-on approach to guide founders as you become MedTech executives and advance their companies and technologies.  Our curated educational program has a unique focus on regulatory and quality dynamics with engaging mentor and workshop collaboration so companies can actively apply the knowledge they learn in M1 MedTech's experience to their business.
How we're different
M1 is a medical technology accelerator that supports early-stage medical device founders looking to rapidly progress toward commercialization.
Our program focuses on providing a personal, founder-centered experience by accepting a limited number of companies into each cohort and providing ongoing tailored mentoring and coaching for each company. Additionally, our educational curriculum leans heavily on practical, interactive workshop sessions where cohort companies quickly push through milestones as they continually develop their business. Finally, M1 provides each team with specific, tailored connections vetted by our team through professional partnerships.
We created M1 MedTech Accelerator to deliver medical device companies the help they need at the earliest stages of company growth.
New founders often don’t know what they don’t know. M1 intends to bridge that gap by providing an intensive curriculum and then pairing them with the right people to supplement that education.
Our curriculum, provided by experts, covers medical device development from A to Z, resulting in tangible deliverables that help founders meet key milestones. Our university style bootcamp along with in-kind services provided by our partners can reduce startup costs to market by millions of dollars.
