The 100State Health Project
Establishing 100State as a hub for healthcare innovation, health technology, and entrepreneurship — bringing together founders, clinicians, healthcare organizations, researchers, investors, universities, and technology partners to solve real healthcare challenges.
What it is
From problem to investable business.
The Health Project identifies meaningful healthcare challenges and helps build commercially viable solutions around them. It's a structured pathway — not a one-time event or a single program — designed to carry promising ideas all the way from a clearly defined problem to a scalable, fundable company.

Who's involved
A full ecosystem, in one place.
The Health Project only works because it brings the right people into the same room — the people who feel the problem, the people who can build the solution, and the people who can fund and validate it.
