INVESTING RELATIONSHIP CAPITAL IN WOMEN-LED HEALTHCARE STARTUPS

Women Startup Leaders Transforming Health Care

The WBL Fellows Program links women CEOs, entrepreneurs, and founders of young healthcare startups to WBL’s high-powered community of women healthcare executives so they can take their leadership and business to the next level.

Innovative startups are the future of healthcare. We are proud to support these companies through the WBL Fellows Program! This 6-month program harnesses the power of WBL’s Relationship Capital™ to help women CEOs and founders of early-stage companies thrive as they tackle our industry’s most pressing challenges.

The WBL Fellows Program offers a super concentrated WBL experience with immediate relational power: the most potent form of business acceleration.

The WBL Fellows Program is for women-led startups pursuing innovative and scalable ventures. It is a natural next step after business incubation, initial funding rounds, early-stage “traditional” business accelerators, or for those who are in the process of commercializing and need a relationship boost.

Opportunity is around every corner.

From in-person gatherings with hundreds of WBL members to one-on-one meetings with advisors, WBL Fellows experience the power of our network’s relationship capital over 6 months of networking, education, and strategic visibility.
