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 critical areas, identify gaps, and give you the confidence you need to move forward.

  • 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.
