​Health2Tech DC & Founder Institute DC - a series of digital health events.

​Join us on September 30th for an exclusive gathering that brings together the brightest minds in the digital health space. Presented in partnership with Founder Institute, IREX, and 3L, this evening promises to be a confluence of innovation, inspiration, and invaluable networking.

​From Innovation to Market: Choosing the Right Path to Commercialization
Great technologies often have more than one potential market, buyer, and path to commercialization. For an early-stage startup, the hard question isn't whether to focus — it's where to focus first, and why.

​Join us for an interactive workshop led by Yulie Klerman, Venture Partner at 3L, where we'll introduce a practical framework for pressure-testing different paths to market across regulation, evidence, payment, competition, market barriers, capital requirements, and time to revenue. We'll work through real examples and break into groups to apply the framework — giving founders a structured way to challenge their assumptions and make sharper go-to-market decisions.

​We'll continue the evening with networking across DC's healthtech founder, investor, and innovation community.
