Building a
Culturally Competent Healthcare System
Partners
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
An accelerator for startups working to improve health equity in the United States.
Despite spending more on healthcare than any other country in the world, marginalized populations in the US face vastly inequitable health outcomes. Our accelerator will support entrepreneurs building for-profit, market-based innovations that are improving health equity by addressing the social, economic, cultural or linguistic needs of patients.
Village Capital and Johnson & Johnson Impact Ventures have partnered to create an accelerator program for tech-enabled startups focused on providing culturally competent care to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), low-income, or other underserved communities.
All applicants have also been considered for investment from the Johnson & Johnson Impact Ventures Team.
