Health Wildcatters has announced that it has formally aligned with 26 venture capital firms.
The move will give the Dallas-based health accelerator’s startups more exposure and mentorship opportunities with investors, Health Wildcatters CEO Hubert Zajicek told D Healthcare Daily.
“This should help with [startups] understanding of the role we are playing,” Zajicek told D Healthcare Daily. “It’s further validation for startups that seek to be in Dallas.”
