Next week, six healthtech startups will have the chance to showcase their ideas to a panel of journalists in Publicize’s first online Connect event.
The virtual Connect: Healthtech event — which will take place on August 27, from 1PM until 2.30PM EDT — will give the startups a chance to gain access to feedback, and valuable insights from the startup and technology media on how best to pitch their businesses.
There will also be a live Q&A session with the media judges after the startups have pitched, for founders and members of the public to ask questions.
Co-founded in 2013, Publicize is a digital public relations company for growth, based in Medellín, Colombia.
Since they first launched in 2017, in-person Publicize Connect events have taken place in Medellín, Bogotá, Mexico City and Miami.
