Innovation Programs
Our innovation programs engage early- and late-stage startups with innovative solutions to improve accessibility, equity, and the integration between oral health and overall health. Programs vary in length, support, and funding opportunities.
Corporate Partnerships
We partner with leading organizations to advance work across clinical integration, interoperability, and enhanced care and reimbursement models—all critical components of a more accessible, equitable, and integrated health system. Corporate partners are also a key part of both our SMILE Health and ACCELERATE startup innovation programs.
Impact Investing
We drive innovation by investing in scalable, mission-aligned solutions that improve access and equity, and strengthen overall health through oral health. We actively support and attract additional venture co-investment to accelerate growth in the oral health innovation ecosystem.

Convene: We source and connect innovators, creating thriving environments and solutions that influence whole-person health.
