In order to be eligible, your company will need to:

• Be focused on areas which have the potential to have a significant impact on health, and where use of data is a core part of the business model (this is what we define as data-driven health). If you are uncertain whether your company qualifies, you can see examples of companies from our previous cohorts on our portfolio page. If you are still unsure, please feel free to reach out to us by email.
• Have two or more team members – preferably full-time, however not required.
• Have a Minimum Viable Product, prototype or proof of concept - we are looking for early-stage indicators demonstrating that your design concept, business proposal, etc. is feasible.
• Be an early-stage company – we are happy to see evidence of initial fundraising success, and accept applications from companies who have raised grant funding and / or pre-seed or seed investment. However, previous equity funding is not required.
• Have a legal entity registered in the UK – this includes England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
• Have a team based in the UK – although the core programme content is run virtually, we run in person networking events in London (including our Demo Day), and strongly recommend that the founding team be living in the UK
