About ZeroTo510
ZeroTo510 is the MedTech program of Epicenter. Epicenter exists to promote and activate Memphis innovation and high-growth entrepreneurship, which are critical to successful economic development. Our vision for our community and for each project is a vibrant, inclusive Memphis, where innovation and entrepreneurship fuel individual and family wealth for the founder, transformational success for the business, and growth for the regional economy. We envision an entrepreneurial community that reflects our citizens.
Advancing the Next Wave of MedTech Innovation
Navigating the complexities of the highly regulated healthcare industry while matriculating from concept to commercialization is often a challenging path for medical device and health-tech startups. That's why we offer a robust, intensive 3‑month curriculum that provides a complete overview of the healthcare, reimbursement, product development, and regulatory landscape that gives founders a more defined strategy for commercializing their technology.
Our focus on fine-tuning critical business development components ensures founders can de‑risk their venture and be better suited for future investment.
Setting Entrepreneurs
up for Success
With a hybrid of in‑person and online course offerings, we pair our entrepreneurs with expert mentors and help them achieve critical de‑risking milestones along with providing an investment of up to $50,000 to set them up for success. We also leverage our expansive alumni and mentor network along with regional strengths found in our city—including biomedical research and medical device manufacturing—for the benefit of our participants.
