We’d love to hear from you. To evaluate whether your innovation may be a good fit for the Catalyst program now or in the future, consider the following, below.
Project Considerations
Your Best Idea

You have a passion for seeing this change the world. Your highest priority is to advance and scale this innovation as fast as possible.
Committed

You can take personal responsibility for reaching project milestones, can commit to daily involvement in the project, and are able to partner with your Catalyst team in at-least weekly meetings for execution.
Transformative

Your innovation is unique and has the potential to transform health care.
Unmet Need

There is a clear market or health care need for your innovation.
Validated

The basic science underpinnings of your innovation have been validated, and you have some enablement via an early prototype, algorithm, bench validation, etc.
Project Deliverables

With funding (up to $1 million) and Catalyst support, your project can deliver significant value-creating milestones within 9-12 months.
Project Team

Your team has broad diversity in experience and background.
Research Stage

Your project is still in a research stage. An incorporated entity has not been created for your innovation with the purpose of profiting from the output of these research efforts, and/or which may be deemed a conflict of interest under Stanford’s Conflict of Interest Policy.
