HealthInno @ SXSW
🚀 SXSW RECAP: WHAT. A. WEEK. 🎤🔥
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Q1 event Austin!!!!!!
SXSW was nonstop—from panels to pitches to incredible conversations—and every moment was worth it!
Here are some of our standout highlights from an action-packed week:
💡 Our founder and head ecosystem builder, Angelica Maestas, moderated an all new section of the legendary SXSW Pitch Competition focused on Health Tech, Med Tech, Bio Science, and Accessibility. The innovation in this space is incredible, and we were honored to help showcase founders pushing the boundaries of healthcare.
🌟 HealthInno (fka HealthTech Rx) — that’s us 😁 — and our fellow innovation economy and ecosystem builders helped represent New Mexico at the first-ever New Mexico House. Angelica sat on an investor panel with other investors highlighting the opportunities in our state. There is so much untapped potential, and we love being part of the movement putting NM on the map!

💼 Real Conversations, Real Impact – Some of the best connections happen over dinner, and this one was no exception. Thanks to Project W, we got to dine with powerhouse women investors (and learn about the power of negotiation and risk over a friendly game of poker), sharing insights, and finding real ways to support each other. It left us energized for what’s ahead 💪
🎡 We hit up the Antler Tech Carnival, Future of Health at FINNxHumble House, the Tennessee House, Inc. Founders House, the FastCompany Grill, the Female Quotient Equality Lounge, and so many more!!

SXSW is also about inspiration: good fun, tech, community, and an energy to innovate—what more could we ask for? SXSW once again showed the power of bringing ambitious minds together.
Most of all, it reminded us that there are still people out there more committed than ever to thinking outside of the box for a better future—now more than ever.
Now, it’s time to turn those conversations into action!
