Caduceus LAUNCH, an initiative of the national digital health venture capital firm Caduceus Capital Partners, has opened applications for its elite accelerator program designed to fast-track pre-seed digital health startups. The initiative, which accepted its first cohort of high-potential founders from around the country this spring, aims to drive transformative impact and unlock profitable growth for the companies accepted.
Led by industry groundbreaker Dr. Mitch Morris, Caduceus LAUNCH offers an intensive 12-week experience plus long-term support to young companies striving to reshape healthcare.
Applications for the fall cohort are now open and will close on August 8, 2025. The curriculum begins with a one-week in-person session followed by three months of personalized virtual learning and coaching. Startups based in the U.S. with bold digital health solutions that align with Caduceus’ investment thesis and tackle critical market needs are encouraged to apply.
“Pre-seed digital health startups often struggle due to limited access to capital, talent, and networks, or the complexities of scaling in healthcare,” said Dr. Mitch Morris, managing principal of Caduceus LAUNCH. “Caduceus LAUNCH was formed to address these roadblocks and offer a bespoke experience to guide, focus, and accelerate innovative companies to a successful entry into a multifaceted and competitive healthcare market.”
The digital health companies selected for the cohort will have a Minimal Viable Product which serves providers, payers, employers, and/or consumers.

- Strategic seed funding and actionable growth guidance
- Access to top-tier investors and Caduceus’ extensive network of healthcare leaders
