Frequently Asked Questions
Health Innovation Pitch (HIP), is a monthly event that provides early-stage health care related startups the opportunity to pitch in front of a carefully curated group of investors and advisors.
We are purely focused on healthcare. Also, our curated group of investors do not just represent one firm or group.
Rather than trying to schedule individual meetings, we provide the opportunity to get you in front of multiple investors in one shot. We also provide extensive feedback from the investors directly through a focused feedback report.
Our event takes place in the heart of Silicon Valley in Cupertino at one of our investor partner offices. Companies can also pitch virtually from anywhere, but we do recommend pitching in person if possible.
Currently, there is no fee to participate in the process to present. However if you are selected and considered for investment, there is an advisory agreement that is initiated. The structure of the advisory agreement is subject to a number of negotiated factors.
Companies should have investor materials prepared and be ready to articulate their value proposition. We also provide a one-page Investor Brief template for you to fill in which is sent to the investors prior to the event.
We are purely focused on the healthcare space. Typical focus is digital health (consumer and provider/payer), healthcare IT, and life science.
Companies need to take the following steps:
1. Complete the contact form.
2. Depending on interest we connect to learn more about the company and solution.
3. We initiate our pitch due diligence process which entails:
a) A thorough analysis of product market fit
b) business model and revenue model review
c) buyer, end user, and clinical (as necessary) deep dive with subject matter and clinical experts with BAHA's Advisor Network
d) screening of investment interest level with our investor committee.
Based on the results of our due diligence we then extend an invitation for the startup to pitch at one of our upcoming events.
Our pitch event is targeted towards companies that are pre-Series A that have an MVP, and have some level of traction (i.e. revenue, defined business model). If you are looking for angel, seed, seed extension funding, fill out the form above to get started!
Our investor panel includes early-stage healthcare venture capital firms, physician investors, angel investors, and high net worth individuals.
Our investors remain confidential and anonymous to the companies until the time of the event. We also do not allow companies to contact them before or after the event unless the investor(s) has shown interest in furthering the conversation.
Investors are requested to complete feedback forms on every company. We review your performance including the quantified feedback from the investors, and we initiate the process of structuring an advisory agreement with you. This advisory agreement includes connections with interested investors and managing the entire investment process.
Absolutely. We encourage our investors and advisors to complete structured feedback forms on all companies. We capture, analyze and share with you this specific and insightful assessment of the investors' view of the company.
