Their health and wellness platform develops customized solutions and services for direct primary care, concierge medicine, accountable care organizations, employers, and insurance providers.
Other startups that participated include Welcome to College, Dry Tunes, Community Health TV, and AppKrewe.
GetHealthy was awarded a package valued at up to $15,000, including: free Salesforce licenses for one year, donated licenses courtesy of the Salesforce Power of Us Program, four hours on in-person consulting services, and 36 hours of custom implementation services from both Silverline and Salesforce.
“It was an absolutely phenomenal experience. We’re thrilled that New Orleans Entrepreneur Week is able to attract these big companies in technology and entrepreneurship,” says CEO Blaine Lindsey.
‘Winning implementation and licensing services–something really tangible– is helpful to us because we’re trying to create those solutions ourselves,” Lindsey continues. “These resources are invaluable.”
