Underrepresented Founders Database

Since its inception in 2018, HealthTech 4 Medicaid (HT4M)’s Underrepresented Founders Database has been a beacon for diversity and inclusivity in the health tech landscape. Our database is a dedicated platform supporting and shining a spotlight on underrepresented founders, including BBIPOC, LGBTQIA+, women, and gender-diverse entrepreneurs who are driving innovation to serve vulnerable populations. We take pride in being the largest Underrepresented Founders Database in health tech and healthcare across the United States.
