Sector: Life science and health care companies (therapeutics, diagnostics, devices and tools, health tech, and digital health care)
Stage: Early stage companies with 5 or fewer employees and a soft limit of $2M in equity-based funding or annual revenue.
We understand that stage, funding, and team size is relative to your vertical and operation. If you exceed the above guidelines but believe you are still at an early stage, we are eager to discuss your unique situation with you to determine incubator fit togetherTeam experience: Founders’ and executives’ professional background align to their technology or business ambition
In addition to these requirements we evaluate companies based on their alignment to our mission. Preference will be given to companies who are building:
Breakthrough businesses or products: Innovation-driven technologies with compelling patents or publication track record or disruptive, differentiated market strategies
Representative & inclusive teams: Altitude Lab aims for 50% of our startups to have at least one underrepresented founder or executive and requires all companies to make a commitment to build inclusive businesses. Preference for residency will be given to exceptional executives from historically underrepresented backgrounds.
