Karlsgate, a leader in secure and seamless data collaboration, announced today that it was selected as a spoke for the Investor Catalyst Hub, a regional hub of ARPANET-H, a nationwide health innovation network launched by the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H).
Based in the Greater Boston area and managed by VentureWell, the Investor Catalyst Hub seeks to accelerate the commercialization of groundbreaking and accessible biomedical solutions. It utilizes an innovative hub-and-spoke model designed to reach a wide range of nonprofit organizations and Minority-Serving Institutions, with the ultimate aim of delivering scalable healthcare outcomes for all Americans.
"Karlsgate is honored to join the Investor Catalyst Hub as a spoke member, advancing ARPA-H's mission to drive equitable and scalable health solutions," said Regina Gray, Chief Operating Officer, Karlsgate. "This opportunity underscores our commitment to safeguarding data while enabling innovation, collaboration, and transformative outcomes across the healthcare ecosystem."
Karlsgate joins a dynamic nationwide network of organizations aligned to ARPA-H’s overarching mission to improve health outcomes through the following research focus areas: health science futures, proactive health, scalable solutions, and resilient systems. Investor Catalyst Hub spokes represent a broad spectrum of expertise, geographic diversity, and community perspectives.
“Our vibrant spoke network reflects a diverse range of experts with a shared commitment to closing gaps in innovation and health equity,” said Chelsea Schiller, Director of the Investor Catalyst Hub. “By building connections between our network and ARPA-H programs, we can help speed up the transition of innovative ideas into equitable health solutions for all.”
As an Investor Catalyst Hub spoke, Karlsgate gains access to potential funding and flexible contracting for faster award execution compared to traditional government contracts. Spoke membership also offers opportunities to provide input on ARPA-H challenge areas and priorities, along with access to valuable networking opportunities.
