The application deadline is March 31, 2018. Dynamic entrepreneurial teams leading companies that are truly ready for institutional seed venture funding are encouraged to apply.

"Our partnership with LDH has given us the unwavering support and quarterbacking we need to successfully run our startup, access an amazing network of strategic partners and investors, and accelerate our business."  Julie Campistron – CEO & Co-Founder

"Launchpad has been an instrumental partner and board member as we shape our vision, execute on our strategy, and finance the business. LDH is highly aligned with and supportive of the founding team."  Zak Holdsworth, Hint Health – CEO & Co-Founder

"For early-stage companies, the experience, guidance and support that LDH brings is at least as important as the monetary investment."  Bronwyn Harris, MD, Tueo Health – CEO & Co-Founder

LDH provided seed and follow-on capital and invaluable guidance, helping us to attract global brands who trust in us to provide accurate air quality data."  Ran Korber, Breezometer – CEO & Co-Founder

"Having LDH on our board, closely mentoring and co-locating with us, has been instrumental to our quick growth, now with 80 strong team members.

Truly an amazing experience of personal and professional growth."  Jason T. Andrew, Limelight Health – CEO & Co-Founder

"There is no better partner in digital health than Launchpad. Through the course of building a company, you encounter many unknowns and this is the best team to have in your corner bar none."  Michelle Longmire, MD – CEO & Co-Founder

"With digital health experience, LDH quickly recognized what we were trying to do, pushed us on our false assumptions, continually encouraged us, and provided the resources, network, and methodologies to build our business." Andrew Trees, Agathos – CEO & Co-Founder
