Pavan Choksi of Rx.Health getting grilled by Optum judge Unmesh Srivastava
We are proud to announce the winners of the first VSee-GHIF Telehealth Pitch Competition at ATA18.
Each of the nine finalist were put through a Shark Tank style round of 3-minute pitches followed by 2-minutes of grilling by a judge panel. Winners were selected based on the company’s ability to showcase its product capabilities, marketability, business model and the chutzpah of the team behind the product.
Winners received the opportunity to interview for a possible investment of $100K from the Global Health Impact Fund. First prize also took home a 4K Logitech BRIO Webcam.
