For trade agencies, accelerators, universities, and ecosystem leaders

Sending companies to the US is easy. Getting them ready isn't.

Your region has strong health AI companies. Most will spend a year in the US learning what they could have known up front.

The lab runs that learning as a cohort, before the year is gone.

Companies leave with a US buyer thesis, claims map, evidence plan, trust packet, pilot-to-contract plan, and 90-day roadmap.

Led by Arvita Tripati. 30+ FDA-regulated, AI-enabled, and regulated health products shipped or scaled; judge for MedTech Innovator and BioTools Innovator.

Why host it

More than another pitch event

Introductions open doors. They don't tell a company which door to walk through. The lab does.

Host it when companies are asking

  • Should we enter the US?
  • Which buyer comes first?
  • Do we need FDA review?
  • Will our evidence be enough?
  • Can we sell before reimbursement?
  • What gets asked in diligence?

What hosting gives you

  • A disciplined US path for local companies.
  • Fewer expensive false starts.
  • Sharper buyer and investor conversations.
  • A pipeline ready for serious US engagement.
  • Artifacts, not applause.

Who delivers it

Arvita Tripati, founder of Vahana Labs. 30+ FDA-regulated, AI-enabled, and regulated health products shipped or scaled, cardiac AI cleared on the Apple Watch, and work across Moderna, Gilead, the NHS, and Bristol-Myers Squibb.

She's the operator who connects every thread and pulls in named specialists, clinicians, regulatory, reimbursement, privacy, security, and investors, where a cohort needs more depth. Not more lectures. Better decisions.

Specialist network, not generic advice

The lab helps companies find the right US-entry questions, pressure-test sequencing, and know when specialist review is needed. Vahana Labs brings in a curated network of regulatory, legal, reimbursement, privacy, security, evidence, and investor specialists where useful. Formal legal, regulatory, reimbursement, tax, clinical-trial, or investment opinions should come from qualified specialists the company engages directly.
