OUR PROGRAMS
Success often means bringing together critical players to achieve what wouldn’t be possible alone. Our programs not only allow Kicker to offer the chance to share the tools and knowledge that we’ve accumulated, but also give everyone in our ecosystem—founders, startups, investors, partners—a unique chance to come together and evolve. Our goal is for you to emerge from our programs changed and ready to achieve even greater impact.
ADVISORS IN RESIDENCE
Investing in the future of healthcare means supporting companies developing new technologies or using existing technologies in novel ways. Healthcare is extremely broad, yet interconnected, in much the same way that all of the systems of the human body work together.
Our Advisor in Residence program brings together top experts in a variety of fields who work together with us to support our portfolio companies. All of our advisors are actively working in the healthcare industry. They offer practical, actionable solutions to the challenges our companies face.
FELLOWSHIP
Our fellows are current or recent graduate students from top research universities, who are also professionals in their field. They represent a bridge between the academic world of cutting edge scientific research and the practical world of healthcare business. Both are extremely invaluable for truly meaningful and lasting impact.
Our fellows in turn become the next generation of healthcare VCs, furthering the impact we want to see in the world.
If you are interested in the program, please contact us.

We allow participating start-ups to utilize the data and resources of those organizations to accelerate their product development and fine-tune product market fit.
