Charlotte’s Health Innovation Pitch Party is a dynamic, high-energy event designed to spotlight the greater Charlotte region's growing healthtech ecosystem. This event will bring together six early-stage healthtech startups to pitch their innovative solutions to a panel of industry experts and investors. The panelists will provide critical feedback from diverse perspectives, helping founders refine both their products and their investment pitches.
Beyond the pitches, this event serves as a unique networking opportunity, bringing together key leaders in the healthtech entrepreneurial space, including founders, funders, entrepreneurial support organizations, service providers, and corporate and healthcare executives. While Charlotte hosts numerous entrepreneurial ecosystem events, this is the only one exclusively dedicated to healthtech, catering to its niche needs and sector-specific challenges.
Looking ahead to the upcoming opening of the Pearl innovation district in Charlotte, NC, Advocate Health is pleased to co-host this year’s HealthTech Pitch Party, in collaboration with Innovate Charlotte and Kepler Team. The Pearl will be a regional catalyst for innovation and entrepreneurship, where startups, healthcare leaders, and innovators can come together to shape the future of healthcare.
Apply to present your startup pitch and connect with a dynamic community of entrepreneurs and changemakers.

Focus Areas for Pitches
We invite digital health innovators to build the next-game changing innovation in healthcare!
Environmental Sustainability
Healthcare’s environmental footprint is massive and messy, and we believe innovation can help turn the tide. From reducing medical waste to rethinking supply chains and energy use, the industry needs solutions tackling sustainability challenges in creative ways. Whether it’s reimagining materials, improving efficiency, or building circular solutions, healthcare needs a greener future. Step up and join the good fight!
Brain Health
Supporting brain health requires new solutions that address mental and emotional well-being across all stages of life. Innovations are needed to help young people transition from pediatric to adult mental health care, promote emotional well-being and connection for older adults, and develop culturally-responsive mental health solutions for immigrant communities. If you’re building tools or innovative models to meet these needs, this is your chance to share your vision and engage with a community committed to advancing mental health.
Clinical Trials
The way clinical trials are conducted hasn’t changed fast enough to keep up with the needs of modern medicine. From improving patient access and diversity to streamlining recruitment and data collection, there’s a huge opportunity for new ideas that could make clinical trials more efficient, inclusive, and scalable. Think you’ve got what it takes to challenge the status quo?
Care at Home
More care is moving outside of traditional hospital settings, and we want to hear from entrepreneurs shaping the future of healthcare in the home. Whether it’s remote monitoring, virtual care, home-based diagnostics, expanding access to rural areas, or new ways to support caregivers, this is a chance to share ideas and engage with others who believe in expanding access beyond the clinic.
Emerging Technologies & MedTech Innovation
We live in exciting times! We are in the midst of a medical revolution driven by breakthroughs in technology—ranging from AI, XR, and digital twins to robotics, new medical devices, and advanced imaging. Patients deserve cutting-edge innovations that have far-reaching implications for treatments, diagnostics, and delivery of care. Whether you're working on next-gen medical devices, advanced diagnostics, or game-changing software, this is your chance to connect with a forward-thinking community of healthcare innovators. Are you game?
Working on something outside these areas? Apply anyway and surprise us—we want to hear from all healthtech entrepreneurs in our region who are passionate about building the future of healthcare.
Applications close on April 10th
