Health Wildcatters is a Dallas-based, mentor-driven seed accelerator and fund dedicated to advancing healthcare innovation by supporting early-stage startups. Founded in 2013, the organization focuses on sectors such as IT, SaaS, digital and mobile health, medical devices, diagnostics, research tools, and pharmaceuticals. Health Wildcatters offers a comprehensive program that includes seed investment, in-kind perks, and access to a vast network of over 200 mentors spanning the healthcare industry and professional services.

Each year, 8 to 12 startups participate in a ten-week accelerator program from September to November, culminating in a pitch day. Since its inception, Health Wildcatters has expanded its portfolio to 109 startups, collectively raising over $250 million. The organization relocated to the Pegasus Park bioscience campus in Dallas in early 2022, providing over 6,000 square feet of collaborative and flexible office space to foster innovation and collaboration among healthcare startups.

In 2024, Health Wildcatters' "Women in Science and Healthcare" (WISH) initiative won a $50,000 prize from the U.S. Small Business Administration's Growth Accelerator Fund Competition, recognizing its impact on nurturing STEM-based entrepreneurship. This funding will expand the WISH Network, focusing on female entrepreneurs in healthcare and science, with over 250 participants already engaged.

Health Wildcatters continues to play a pivotal role in strengthening Dallas-Fort Worth's position as a growing hub for health tech and biotech innovation.
