AcceLINX™ is a musculoskeletal health business accelerator that provides an unmatched level of industry-specific support to select inventors and entrepreneurs who want to enhance their prospects for business success.
The challenges facing entrepreneurs in the musculoskeletal medical device field can be daunting: ever-changing regulations, a complex patent landscape, finding clinicians to provide critical feedback, raising scarce capital, sourcing key employees, and developing a distribution network are just a handful of those challenges. AcceLINX™ was launched to help entrepreneurs overcome these challenges.
Since the average duration from musculoskeletal company founding to exit is seven years, OrthoWorx devised AcceLINX™ with long-term support in mind as a multi-stage accelerator. We collaborate with qualified ventures at any stage of development and provide them with a customized offering of strategic resources, including a full range of robust advisory and support services, flexible working space, and access to capital.
