At The MidAmerica Healthcare Venture Forum hosted at Chicago’s Fairmont Hotel on March 10 and 11, Healthbox’s Maria Siambekos will host a session about the growing role of healthcare accelerators. Do investors invest in them?

“Accelerators have become as common as Band-Aids on the healthcare scene,” said Lisa Suennen of Venture Valkyrie Consulting, who will be moderating a panel on the topic at the MidAmerica Healthcare Venture Forum (MHVF). “What started as a movement is now having to progress to a business model.  It is interesting to see how the field is segmenting and shifting to better define its value proposition to entrepreneurs, investors and the marketplace.”
