African American and Hispanic entrepreneurs receive less than 1% of venture capital funding. MedTech Color is working to change that through the continuation of our annual Pitch Competition program.

The MedTech Color Pitch Competition searches for the next generation of fearless founders innovating and diversifying Medtech. African American and Hispanic founders are the fastest-growing demographics of entrepreneurs throughout history. These founders are best equipped to solve some of the world’s largest unmet needs. However, African American and Hispanic entrepreneurs are met with the greatest barriers to accessing capital.

Launched in 2021, MedTech Color teamed up with industry-leading sponsors like Johnson & Johnson, ResMed, California Health Foundation, and others to award over $425K to date in non-dilutive capital and in-kind services to African American and Hispanic Founders to accelerate the growth of their Medtech startup. The MedTech Color Pitch Competition is a foundational start for medical technology early-stage startups creating innovative technologies. We’re looking for cutting-edge startups led by African American and Hispanic founders to take the stage for a virtual competition, showcase their products or services that will directly benefit patients, and tell their story of WHY.
