We are a venture capital funded non-profit designed to help companies. We do not take any equity.
Our matching service scans through our massive database to find the highest-quality advisors to assist selected briefs each month, within a set time frame of two weeks.
The powerful matching algorithm at the core of the service is given a human face in the form of our Personal Navigators, who identify the most promising pairings and handhold the connection until it is ready to take off.
This ensures the success of the connection is as much on us, as it is up to you.
We bring you the most exciting healthcare challenges calling out for your advise, making sure the problem interests you before connecting you.

Once you have applied to Health Hub Connect as an advisor, create a profile that reflects your skills, expertise, domain knowledge; describe the kind of projects that interest you, and let our algorithm identify the right early-stage companies in need of your advice. Meanwhile, the Personal Navigator will refine this list to match you to companies that suit you best, once you consent.
Once matched, how and what you do is up to you and the founders. Your navigator will check in periodically to ensure that the connection is mutually beneficial.

Our network boasts of world-renowned healthcare leaders and high-achievers who care passionately about taking action on solutions.
We connect doctors and researchers with founders and other resources to collaborate and innovate the next generation of healthcare solutions.
As a learning community, we are here to bring together a group of diverse leaders to share what is working, explore what is on the horizon, and learn from the experts driving transformational change.
Together, we can grow healthcare entrepreneurship on a global scale (and have an awesome time doing it!)
We make it easier to find the next Fitbit, Genentech, or Epic, by reducing the time to pinpoint that needle in the haystack.
UCSF Volunteer Patriots Program is a sub initiative within UCSF Health Hub Connect to match companies working on legitimate COVID mitigating projects to the help they need to bring their solutions to market faster.
