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!

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.

Cohort 1 Conference was a success! Our first APIS conference has been completed and was a very fruitful experience for both startups and investors. Our first winner was Kairos Technologies, a health startup focused on saving lives through medical adhesion barriers. Their goal is to use their technology to become the standard for cardiac surgeries and to save and improve the lives of children and other cardiac patients.
