CAN YOU GET THIS?

You need to be a startup building a MedTech product — a medical device or in-vitro diagnostic (IVD).

The program is designed for founders at idea, pre-seed, or seed stage who need to learn regulatory and commercialization fundamentals (MDR/IVDR, CE certification, clinical studies, reimbursement). There is no cash award — the value is structured training and coaching, delivered free of charge.

YOUR REAL ODDS

This is Batch 12, meaning the program has run regularly since 2021 — roughly biannually — but cohort size is not publicly stated.

The program is specialized enough that competition comes from other early-stage MedTech teams specifically, not the broader startup world. No rejection rate data is published.

WHAT IT TAKES

  1. Apply during the open window — Applications open June 22 – August 3, 2026

  2. Attend 15 interactive online workshops (Part 1) — October 2026 – February 2027, Fridays 9am–5pm

  3. Complete 6 months of individual 1-on-1 coaching (Part 2) — Monthly meetings over ~6 months after workshops end

WORTH KNOWING

The program culminates in two investor pitches — a kickoff pitch and a final review pitch — so it's structured to build toward fundraising readiness, not just education. Participants also receive a voucher for additional 4C Services from MII.
