Our Story
Founded in 2013, Powered Health has quickly grown to support a number of healthcare technology startups. We’re changing the business of healthcare by driving better outcomes in patient safety and patient satisfaction, while also improving and developing revenue sources for hospitals.
Our Value
Powered Health provides a high-touch partnership as opposed to an investment relationship. We are there to inform and guide CEOs and management teams and put companies in a position to focus on what they need to be successful. Powered Health companies work on a Nashville-based campus where shared technology, back-office support, databases, office space and insights come together in a collaborative environment for a higher probability of startup success. Powered Health doesn’t take outside capital and isn’t beholden to partners and specific exit deadlines. We focus on organic growth, not growth through acquisition. Our CEOs aren’t spending their time on rounds of fundraising or back-office functions. They are focused on creating valuable solutions.
What We Look For
We’re committed to helping companies realize their vision and endless growth potential. We partner with forward-thinking healthcare technology companies to cultivate a network of partners that want to improve the delivery of healthcare.
