Terms in plain English
ZeroTo510 is a Memphis medical device accelerator run by Epicenter. Each company receives a $25,000 cash investment on entering the program, structured as a SAFE, plus a further $25,000 if it sets up in the Memphis area for at least 12 consecutive months, and the program provides $50,000 in services and perks. Founders are also asked to reserve 5 percent of their company for the mentors and board members they bring on; that stake is not taken by the program. The SAFE's valuation cap and discount are not published. The accelerator is an intensive 13-week program for a small cohort, typically 4 to 6 ventures.
Who this is actually for
Early-stage medical device founders, particularly those with a device likely headed for FDA 510(k) clearance or exemption, who want hands-on regulatory and commercialization support in Memphis. Applicants need a plan for a foothold connection to Memphis, such as a clinical advisor, a planned clinical study, or a Memphis location. Applications for the fall 2026 cohort are closed, so this is a plan-ahead option for the next cycle.
