About Event

Are you building the future of Orthopedic Technology? 🦴🚀

As a cornerstone of the BOTSRise Summit, we are hosting an elite Pitch Competition for ortho-focused startups. This is your platform to showcase your innovation to a panel of top-tier VCs, industry experts, and clinical leaders who are actively looking for the next breakthrough in musculoskeletal care.

Why Compete?

  • Investor Access: Pitch directly to investors specializing in MedTech, Surgical Robotics, and Digital Health.

  • Industry Spotlight: Get your startup in front of an audience of potential partners, customers, and clinical experts.

  • Awards & Prizes: Finalists will compete for cash prizes awarded to the top orthopedic startups that demonstrate the most impact and innovation.

Application Tracks: Startups may apply under one of two specialized tracks:

  1. Medical Tech: Innovations in surgical hardware, orthopedic devices, and orthobiologics.

  2. AI & Digital Health: Applications in Machine Learning (ML), surgical software, and recovery-tech platforms.

Eligibility & Selection: We are accepting applications from early-stage startups (Pre-seed to Series A). Our selection committee will conduct a rigorous review of all submissions. The chosen finalists will pitch live on the main stage in a "5+5" format: 5 minutes to pitch, followed by 5 minutes Q&A with the Judge committee.

Not selected for the main stage? Your innovation still deserves a spotlight. Startups that are not selected as Top Finalists will receive an invitation to present your work as “Digital Poster Feature” on BOTS website, providing year-round visibility to our global network.

📅 DEADLINE TO APPLY: April 15, 2026
