“Having a program that allows you to get fairly deep access — not just to senior decision-makers, but to actual users that will be the recipients and beneficiaries of the product — that is the type of access that most development-oriented companies lack. Having a program that bridges that gap and connects us to healthcare providers has been immensely impactful.”

"Jeff and his team found clinical partners willing to work closely with health startups to validate their products both clinically and financially. This is a huge benefit to medical startups, where there are so many great ideas, yet few places to test them. We look forward to continuing to work with everyone, well past the end of the official program."

"HealthTech Arkansas (HTA) combines state-of-the-art hospitals, forward-thinking clinicians, unique business opportunities, and even seed financing into a wonderful program that’s ideal for early-stage MedTech companies. Working with HTA’s leadership, my start-up quickly planned a novel, cost-efficient clinical trial with a program that would normally take months (and significant capital) elsewhere. Plus, with HTA, we get the chance to interact and collaborate with likeminded companies. This program is fantastic on multiple fronts!"
