Corti Launches Startup Program to Support Healthcare AI Builders

Corti announced in a press release the launch of its Startup Acceleration Program, a no-equity initiative designed to support healthcare AI startups facing increasing regulatory demands in major markets. The program provides access to Corti’s clinical-grade Symphony models, which recently outperformed OpenAI on the company’s new HealthBench Professional benchmark.

The program offers up to $5,000 in credits across the Symphony stack, including agents, medical coding, speech-to-text, and text generation tools built on over 1.5 million hours of clinical audio. Participants also receive support from Corti’s clinical and regulatory teams to navigate requirements under the EU AI Act, MDR, and data residency laws, as well as direct guidance from Corti’s AI experts to plan product architecture.

Applications are open globally to healthcare and life sciences startups from pre-seed to Series B stages. Selected founders will also have access to webinars, events, and mentoring sessions in cities including New York, Copenhagen, London, and Berlin. The program’s goal is to help builders deploy compliant and effective AI solutions in a market where certification costs can exceed €600,000 per device and take up to 18 months to complete.
