Tenity Digital Health Accelerator is a pre-seed/seed healthtech program in Zurich: 4 masterclass months, success-based fee (2% equity or CHF 100K cap). Rolling.
The Tenity Digital Health Accelerator is a pre-seed and seed program in Zurich for healthtech startups. It runs four months of masterclasses, and the 2027 cohort is open for applications now, with the 2027 schedule to be announced shortly. There is no fixed deadline, so applications are effectively rolling.
Tenity charges a success-based fee rather than an upfront price, set at 2% equity or a cap of CHF 100K. Founders should read this carefully, because the fee structure differs from accelerators that invest cash for equity, and they should confirm exactly when the fee is triggered before signing.
The program is aimed at European digital health founders who want to connect with Swiss corporates, hospitals and investors. Tenity runs sector-focused programs across Europe and Asia, and its health track draws on its network of pharma, insurance and health system partners to provide pilots and introductions. It is a good fit for startups with a working product that need commercial partners more than seed capital, and for teams that want a Swiss base for expansion into the DACH region. Check the official page for the confirmed 2027 start date, cohort size and current fee terms before applying.
Most applications for programs like this ask for a short pitch deck, a clear description of the team and evidence of traction or customer conversations. Founders should tighten their story before applying and submit as soon as the application is complete, because rolling review tends to reward early, well-prepared submissions over last-minute ones.
Our pitch deck template will guide you through the requirements of an Accelerator-ready presentation.
