Mayo Clinic Opens the Vault

Mayo launched Platform_Accelerate in March 2026. Eighteen startups get 30 weeks inside Mayo's data, clinical records, and validation infrastructure. Millions of de-identified patient records. Products tested through Mayo's Platform Solutions Studio before live deployment.

Not a pitch competition. A structured partnership where clinical credibility is built in, not bolted on.
