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, you can create a profile that reflects your skills, expertise, domain knowledge, and describe the kind of projects that interest you. Our matching platform will use this information to identify the best companies in need of your advice. Meanwhile, the Personal Navigator will refine this list to match you to only those 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.
