Healthcare partnerships are broken

Health systems are overwhelmed with cold outreach from unvetted companies. Startups with real solutions can't get through the door. The introduction layer between them is either nonexistent, automated, or misaligned.

Cold outreach fills the inbox

Health system executives receive hundreds of vendor emails per month. Most are AI-generated, untargeted, and immediately deleted. Real companies get lost in the noise.

No standard for partnership readiness

Health systems lack a structured way to evaluate whether a company is operationally ready for enterprise partnership — EHR integration, implementation maturity, clinical evidence, and scalability.

Brokers charge commissions on closed deals

Traditional healthcare BD firms take 5–15% success fees on top of retainers. A $500K pilot could cost a startup $75K in referral fees. That model misaligns incentives.

Inkwell fixes this

Inkwell-Rated™

Partnership readiness, scored

Every company in the Inkwell directory is evaluated on the HOCS framework — the four dimensions health system leaders care most about when selecting a partner. Scores are generated from verifiable evidence, not opinions.

H

Health System Readiness

EHR integration depth, security certifications, implementation support, and whether the product is purpose-built for health systems.

O

Operational Maturity

Company stability, team depth, funding, customer success infrastructure, and industry recognition.

C

Clinical Evidence

Published research, outcomes data, regulatory status, and clinical advisory presence. Non-clinical companies are scored on credibility and methodology.

S

Scalability & Fit

Multi-site deployment history, geographic coverage, pricing flexibility, and contract readiness for enterprise health systems.
