Equity for cash HealthTech & MedTech accelerators
These healthtech programs invest cash for equity. The checks range from $30,000 to $220,000 and the equity taken runs from 3 to 8 percent, so the same label covers very different deals. Each record below spells out the instrument (priced stock, SAFE, or convertible note) and the stake in plain English, using only what the program itself publishes.
