What is Trampoline?

RADIUS’ Health Promotion Lab Trampoline is an eight-session business model validation program for very early-stage ventures (start-ups and non-profits) working to address health inequities in their communities. Through Trampoline’s capacity-building sessions, we test your business model for alignment in critical areas, identify gaps, and give you the confidence you need to move forward.

  • Exercise / physical activity
  • Responsible use of tobacco or alcohol
  • An anti-oppressive lens in delivery of health care services

You are:

  • Passionate about reducing health issues in your community
  • Curious or already involved in systems change work
  • Committed to promoting healthier lives within your communities
  • Able to attend and engage virtually, for weekly sessions
  • Open to feedback, engaging with others working within systems and drawing on new networks to enhance your venture’s mission and vision

With these three themes aligned, you’re off to the races.
