About APIS Health Angels

APIS Health Angels is an investment group formed to help healthcare startups seek funding, invite new investors to dip their toes in the healthcare investing world, and grow the healthcare startup community. Conferences are held twice a year for startups to network, pitch their companies, and attempt to wow investors for an investment opportunity. We also hold workshops often for startups and investors to learn more about running businesses, seeking investment, and investing. This is a perfect springboard to meet investors and fine-tune your message. And offers a chance to win up to a $200k investment!

Sparking growth in the health startup community with educational resources for investors and startups

Early startup founders are still building a bedrock of competencies and business fundamentals. The first steps in our program are dedicated to assisting in this. Our Workshops are free, virtual, and recorded for your convenience.

Hands on Training for Investors

We run workshops for investors to understand
the requirements to conduct due diligence on a company.
The investors then conduct this due diligence.

Real-World Experience

Company applications are the real world examples for our investors to analyze. The investors study the applications to identify which companies demonstrate strengths to make them successful. Through active discussions, the investors select finalists which are showcased at a final demo day (end of March). The winning company receives a $200,000* of pooled investment funds. *Actual amount invested depends on the total dollars raised.

Experienced Investors share their expertise

We have an experienced program team which uses a proven-and-replicated methodology.

Combining experienced and new investors encourages accelerated knowledge flow.

Our speakers are active participants in Angel Investing and the Startup Ecosystem

Lessons they share come from their engagement in building successful startups, negotiating initial funding arrangements, and completing transactional events.
