On August 20th, 40+ entrepreneurs joined us on Zoom for an insightful morning event! This Healthcare Entrepreneur Meetup was not one to miss: HealthIT folks joined A.T. Gimbel, Nicole Connell of Mere, Jim Nasr of Acoer, Melody Roberts of Liv Labs , and Shankha Basu of Benepower as they shared how they each started in the healthcare space.
These Meetups are part of an ongoing series of talks about Healthcare in Atlanta, with the objective of making Atlanta the premier place to start and grow a HealthIT business. The goal of these meetups is to facilitate connections, hear from industry professionals, and truly dig deeper into Healthcare problems that Atlanta entrepreneurs can help solve.

We started the morning with a good ol’ fashioned Zoom Breakout Room networking session to discuss one thing left on everyone's summer bucket list. It was a great opportunity to connect with new faces and reconnect with familiar ones before we dove into the event.
