Incubator for Health & Wellness Startups Launches

WellTech, a new health and wellness-focused incubator, launched this week with a duo of startups dedicated to changing how consumers pursue wellness and healthy living, FITiST and Wizpert.

Headquartered in New York’s Gramercy neighborhood, WellTech targets startups and companies using technology to create new, consumer-facing health and wellness solutions. It is founded by investors and executives behind two other PKPR clients: SpaFinder, Inc., the world’s leading spa and wellness resource, and GramercyOne, whose cloud-based business management software is used by more than 5,800 spas, gyms, medical practices and other local service businesses worldwide. WellTech will provide startups with strategic guidance, such as industry expertise and networking, office space, mentoring and marketing support. Participants will receive a minimum $50,000 in capital to help them grow their business and also will have potential access to future rounds of capital from WellTech and other introduced investors.

PKPR placed stories on the launch in Wall Street Journal’s VC Dispatch, TechCrunch, The Next Web, New York Observer’s Betabeat, Crain’s New York, MobiHealth News, and iMedicalApps.
