Mid-Programming week for our 2026 Healthcare cohort. Two days of go-to-market strategy, investor perspectives, legal guidance, and live pitch practice, with a room full of experts who showed up ready to dig in.
Healthcare is one of the hardest industries to build in. This cohort is building through it with grit and joy.
Grateful to the founders who keep showing up, and to every speaker, expert, mentor, and partner who made the time. 🚀

We recently kicked off the 2026 @verizon Community Disaster Resilience Innovation Accelerator in Boston.
The week included working sessions, early strategy conversations, and a networking reception where each startup shared a brief pitch and connected directly with the broader ecosystem in the room.
The technologies represented across the cohort span AI, connectivity, infrastructure, sensing, autonomy, and power — all aimed at helping communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural disasters.
What stood out was the level of engagement and a group of founders ready to dig in.
A special thank you to Courtney Schoon, Senior Manager, Corporate Social Responsibility at Verizon, for speaking and engaging with our founders throughout the week. We're looking forward to where the work goes from here!
