Live pitch presentations from 11 pioneering med tech startups developing breakthroughs in medical device, diagnostics, and digital health
University Lab Partners (ULP) will host the REALIZE Demo Day on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, from 5:00–8:00 PM PT at UCI Beall Applied Innovation at the Cove. The event marks the capstone of the REALIZE Accelerator program, showcasing live pitch presentations from 11 pioneering med tech startups developing breakthroughs in medical devices, diagnostics, and digital health.
Each startup will present to a panel of industry experts and investors, who will provide Q&A and direct feedback designed to sharpen commercialization strategies and highlight opportunities for growth.
The evening also features a fireside chat with Brian Cook, Vice President of Marketing at Bolt Medical (acquired by Boston Scientific in April 2025). With over 25 years of leadership experience, ranging from driving M&A strategy at Medtronic to helping a startup scale and successfully exit, Brian will share hard-won lessons on building and growing medtech companies. The discussion will be moderated by Charla Triplett, Director of Venture Acceleration at ULP and creator of the REALIZE Accelerator.
"The pitches you'll see at REALIZE Demo Day are the culmination of months of hard work, mentorship, and collaboration," said Charla Triplett. "Our founders aren't just showcasing ideas, they're presenting investor-ready solutions to some of healthcare's biggest challenges. Adding feedback from expert panelists and insights from industry leaders makes this a rare opportunity for the entire health innovation community."
