Digital Healthcare Partners (DHP, CEO Choi Yoon-seop), a digital healthcare investment firm, has selected seven companies to participate in the 'DHP Silicon Valley Bootcamp 2026', which supports the global expansion of promising domestic digital healthcare startups, and will begin local programs in San Francisco and Silicon Valley, USA, starting February 2nd.
The selected companies include Lilycover (beauty AI solution), Metrit (dementia diagnosis AI solution), Monit (smart diaper monitoring system), Innovide (dental-dental lab linkage platform), Talos (cerebral aneurysm prediction AI), Papaway (running record sharing app), and Huber (medical AI agent).
After completing preliminary mentoring in Korea in January, participating companies will participate in a two-week on-site boot camp, where they will complete a practical curriculum with accommodations and meals. The program will involve meetings with local experts, entrepreneurs, and venture capitalists (VCs) to explore US market entry strategies and investment opportunities. A "VC Roundtable" event will also be held, featuring local VCs such as Novo Holdings, Blitzscaling Ventures, Starlink Ventures, and IndieBio.
Additionally, they will visit deep tech and bio-healthcare specialists like Kosla Ventures and MBC Biolab, meeting with local reviewers and mentoring sessions. Workshops and meetups with healthcare entrepreneurs from 500 Global and Y Combinator will provide insights into market entry and fundraising, as well as discussing business partnerships. Korean experts such as WilmerHale Attorney Kim Jeong-eun, Upgen CEO Han Ki-yong, and Taewoong Medical USA CEO Seo Min-soo will also serve as mentors.
DHP CEO Choi Yoon-seop said, "This program is not simply a tour; it focuses on providing practical opportunities for entering the U.S. market and attracting investment, and on helping participating companies secure global competitiveness."
Founded in 2016, DHP is Korea's only digital healthcare investment firm and has invested in over 50 domestic and international startups. This bootcamp is part of Seoul Bio Hub's global expansion and growth acceleration program, run in partnership with local accelerator Outsome.
