Class of 2023
We are thrilled to introduce you to the UnitedHealthcare Accelerator Class of 2023!
A community you can count on
Innovation takes time, especially in health care, and we know firsthand how important community is to ensuring our goal of impact even after the program. At the UnitedHealthcare Accelerator, we strive to create a program community and environment for our entrepreneurs and mentors that is conducive to creating enduring partnerships and driving transformation in health care. We have purposefully built a community that transcends the Accelerator to ensure completing the program is not the end goal but the beginning of a more impactful journey.
