The gBeta Medtech accelerator works with startups focused on health care, including health care devices, software, and services.

“Since the original gBETA Medtech cohort, this program has helped Boston Scientific support early-stage ventures in new ways,” said Randy Schiestl, vice president, sesearch & development at Boston Scientific, the initial funder of the program. “To build on these efforts while advancing our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion exemplifies the spirit of meaningful collaboration that makes truly transformational innovation possible.”

More than 150 startups applied to join the gBeta Medtech spring 2021 cohort, making it one of the most competitive gBeta programs that Milwaukee-based Gener8tor offers.

Applications are open through Aug. 31, with the virtual program slated to run from Oct. 18 to Dec. 10.
