Blueprint Health
Based in New York City, Blueprint Health offers access to execs from Walgreens (WAG), GlaxoSmithKline (GLAXF) and Aetna (AET). It offers a $20,000 investment for a 6% equity stake and has graduated 39 companies from its program.
"For the first few weeks, you're meeting with four to six mentors every day," says Josh Stein, cofounder of AdhereTech, a smart pill bottle maker. "Before Blueprint Health, you would have done anything to have these people take your phone call."
His company inked a partnership with GE (GE) and is in the midst of three pilot studies with universities and pharmaceutical companies.
