Pfizer Partners to Promote Consumer Health Startups

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 21 Feb 2016
Pfizer Consumer Healthcare (New York, NY, USA) and tech industry incubator Galvanize (Denver, CO, USA) have launched a joint health and wellness innovation program.

The six-month joint program, scheduled to open in March 2016 at Galvanize's San Francisco (CA, USA) campus, will enable up to ten startup companies specializing in the development of potential solutions for improved sleep, stress management, energy, aging, and nutrition to access Galvanize membership programming and meet with the coordinating team every week to connect with mentors, learn how to grow their business, and get introductions to startup experts and investors within the broader Galvanize community.

Additionally, the ten selected start-ups will be able to pitch their company's projects to students from the Galvanize Full Stack and Galvanize Data Science programs, which will make it easier for them to gain access to upcoming technical talent and take their business up to the next level. Pfizer Consumer Healthcare, on its part, will provide access to mentoring and insights that will help them develop and grow their companies.

“Developing new ways for consumers to improve their health and well-being remains a priority for Pfizer Consumer Healthcare,” said Suneet Varma, president and general manager of Pfizer Consumer Healthcare. “Collaborating with new partners enables us to build on our own efforts to develop new, innovative ways for consumers to achieve better health and wellness by tapping into the creativity and thinking taking place all around us.”

“We're excited to team up with a leader in healthcare such as Pfizer Consumer Healthcare to foster innovation in the health and tech industry,” said J m Deters, CEO and co-founder of Galvanize. “This program will provide an amazing environment for healthcare startups to grow and reach their full potential, and is proof of Galvanize's ability to provide great technical talent and invaluable resources for founders.”

This is the latest in a string of collaborations that Galvanize has launched with a number of large partner companies such as IBM, Silicon Valley Bank, and insurance leader Allstate (Northfield Township, IL, USA) to help founders and students reach their full potential by providing access to talent, resources, and a massive startup network.
