#Neurotech is finally finding its sweet spot; while the big funding rounds tend to steal the spotlight, the real magic is happening in early-stage investments. This is where some of the most exciting early-stage startups are making real progress, laser-focused on solving specific and major brain health challenges. Why specialization is the smart play: Instead of going broad and aiming to "fix brain health," these startups are zeroing in on highly specific issues with huge potential. Think of new assessment and diagnostic tools designed to allow faster, more accurate evaluations, changing the game in follow up care. Or non-invasive tools for treating depression and PTSD that are making care more accessible, reducing barriers, and helping ease the stigma around mental health. It’s about time: We’re witnessing a growing demand for solutions in brain and mental health, and neurotech startups are arriving right on time. Those focusing on what truly moves the needle, solving specific, meaningful challenges in mental and brain health, are on a path to success by making a real impact.

When creating an acceleration program like Well4Tech from the ground up to benefit health and wellness startups, it's essential to learn from seasoned experts about building strategic relationships with investors and stakeholders that align with your business plan and objectives. Had a great meeting with Yisroel Rabinowitz and David Siegel to explore this further.

I’m happy to share that I’ve started a new position as Director of Strategic Partnerships and Funding at Well4Tech!
