Healthbox‘s decision to revamp its healthcare accelerator model was an interesting development but as Lisa Suennen, Venture Valkyrie blog author and consultant, it’s not an isolated case. She authored a report for the California HealthCare Foundation that provided a state of healthcare and life science accelerators in the U.S. and beyond last year.
In response to emailed questions, Suennen said she’d like to see more significant changes for accelerators. “I think that they have to move towards far more equity through investments like a fund or away from equity entirely and towards a service model. The model of so many accelerators is not sustainable for the long term.”
