“Partnering with MedTech Innovator aligns perfectly with our mission to remove barriers to innovation in connected medical devices,” said John Krlin, CTO of Sequenex. “Many startups are building groundbreaking technologies but face significant challenges when it comes to software development, integration, and regulatory readiness. We’re excited to provide the tools and expertise needed to help these companies move faster and bring impactful solutions to patients.”
“I’m proud of our long-standing success in discovering and supporting the world’s most promising medical technology and digital health companies,” said Paul Grand, Founder and CEO of MedTech Innovator. “Our carefully curated partners and sponsors serve a vital role in driving innovations to achieve their maximum potential, and we are thrilled to welcome Sequenex as our newest partner.

As a partner, Sequenex will engage with MedTech Innovator at every critical inflection point throughout the year. Reviewers and judges faced a formidable task, with MTI receiving a record-setting 1,800 applications for this year’s program. The top 10% of applicants advanced to the Radar Forum, held April 7–9 in Manhattan Beach and virtually, earning a coveted opportunity to pitch and engage with the MTI ecosystem.
Following final cohort selection here in May, the 2026 accelerator will officially launch at the invite-only Innovator Summit on June 3–4 in San Francisco, where companies from the latest cohorts will convene with hundreds of representatives from MTI’s partners, mentors, and alumni. The program culminates in October at the Finals Competitions, where partners reconnect with the cohort as companies showcase their progress and readiness for partnership and investment.
