How the Vanguard Accelerator programme helps
Thanks to the Vanguard Accelerator programme, the HoliYou team will be put in contact with expert mentors in the healthcare sector, thus developing a network of qualified professionals who can challenge their business strategy. Moreover, the team will benefit from six months’ desk space in the Digital Health Hub at Biopôle, allowing them to immerse themselves in the campus’ rich life sciences ecosystem.
HoliYou Co-founder Eugénie Vellieux said: ‘When we applied, our goal was to leverage the specialised healthcare focus of the programme. It’s crucial that we access industry-specific knowledge, connections and facilities to navigate the unique challenges of the healthcare sector. The early-stage support provided by the Vanguard Accelerator will empower us to address these challenges and drive us to refine our vision into an effective go-to-market strategy.’
Meanwhile, Director of Innovations and Partnerships at Biopôle, Pierre-Jean Wipff, praised Eugénie’s mission: ‘In a world where fertility is declining, HoliYou proposes an original approach for couples lost and overwhelmed in their IVF journey. It offers a patient-centric digital solution,’ he reflects. ‘We want to support Eugénie and her team to build a sound business model and to better understand the impact their product could have on couples and their relatives, as well as on assisted fertility providers, in terms of both clinical and wellness-related outcomes.’
HoliYou joins an esteemed roster of other Vanguard Accelerator start-ups transforming digital health. Alumni of the programme include Consulto, PhenomX, biped.ai, Gabi SmartCare, Impli, Resilient, Sensemodi, XANA, Onescope and PeriVision.
