Health Promotion Lab Trampoline Program

What is Trampoline?

RADIUS’ Health Promotion Lab Trampoline program is an eight-session business model validation program for very early stage ventures (startups and nonprofits) working to address health inequities in their communities, with a focus on chronic disease prevention. Through Trampoline’s capacity building sessions, we test your business model for alignment in key areas, daylight critical gaps, and give you the confidence you need to move forward.
