Nashville start-up selected for latest XLerateHealth accelerator
EmpoweRx is a tech enabled platform that transforms healthcare staffing by empowering clinicians through business education courses to effectively start and run their own practice.
A Nashville-based start-up is one of eight participants in the newest cohort of XLerateHealth (XLH), a nationally recognized healthcare accelerator headquartered in Louisville, KY.
EmpoweRx is a tech-enabled platform that transforms healthcare staffing by empowering clinicians through business education courses to effectively start and run their own practice. The company was founded by Mary Kathleen Bryan who serves as Chief Executive Officer.
Founded in 2017, the company joins seven other start-ups from around the country. States represented include Connecticut, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Washington – both the state and the Nation’s Capital, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
XLH’s mission is to cultivate and grow impactful healthcare innovation in the Midwest, Southeast, and other areas of the country where great innovation often goes unrecognized and underfunded. Founded in 2012, XLH supports the development of healthcare innovation through its healthcare accelerator, which helps start-up founders commercialize their businesses and attract funding.
XLH also leads the efforts to build and operate the XLerator Network, an National Institutes of Health-funded partnership with the University of Kentucky, academic lead, and 24 other academic institutions in the Southeast. The objective of this work is to increase the commercialization of promising life science and healthcare innovations in the NIH-designated Southeast Institutional Development Award (IDeA) states.
