Endeavor is excited to announce the launch of our third cohort for ScaleUp BHM: an 8-month, non-dilutive program designed to equip Birmingham’s fastest-growing, highest potential entrepreneurs with the resources and confidence they need to take their companies to the next level. Each finalist completed a multi-step interview process that mimics the acceptance process for Endeavor’s global network. After interviews with local leaders and leading mentors from Endeavor’s regional network, 4 entrepreneurs were selected for this year’s Birmingham cohort:
Theo Harvey, Founder and CEO of SynsorMed
Jennifer Ryan, Founder and CEO of BLUEROOT
Austin Senseman, Co-Founder and CEO of Conserv
Nathan McMinn, Co-founder and CTO of Conserv
SynsorMed- Theo Harvey:
SynsorMed is the first platform to provide a comprehensive RPM solution that combines video telehealth, proactive remote patient monitoring, and analytic insights to ease the journey toward value-based care. SynsorMed integrates with consumer-grade FDA-approved wearable devices to provide an analysis of a patient’s condition outside the doctor’s office. Patients who are suffering from chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and anxiety can increase communication between providers with HIPAA-compliant telehealth.
BLUEROOT- Jennifer Ryan:
BLUEROOT is a health-conscious fast-casual restaurant concept serving up salads, grain bowls, and more, all crafted by their James Beard award-winning chef. They’re bringing bright, delicious, and nutrient-rich foods to Birmingham for everyday enjoyment on their mission to combine quality, nutrition, and convenience. BLUEROOT's produce-forward menu is a seasonal love fest of the freshest ingredients available and showcases the best Birmingham's local farmers have to offer.
Conserv- Austin Senseman & Nathan McMinn:
Conserv is combining IoT and custom analytics software to create preventive conservation solutions. By integrating risk management for the environment, pests, disasters, and other agents of deterioration, Conserv has built a single tool for collections. Conserv is partnering with researchers and practitioners to build the next generation of sensors and software for cultural heritage.
Endeavor offices around the world offer varying ScaleUp programs to the entrepreneurs in their ecosystems. While each program is designed by local affiliates with content that meets the needs of their local entrepreneurs, Birmingham is the first program to include executive coaching for founders. For this year’s cohort, Executive Coach and Endeavor NWA Board Chair Elise Mitchell will hold one-on-one Executive Coaching and will facilitate Hogan 360 reviews for each of our ScaleUp founders. Our local Endeavor staff will also host monthly “Focus and Fuel Forums” led by successful operators and founders from Endeavors’ regional network. The team will pair founding teams with leading entrepreneurs and industry experts for founder-to-founder mentor sessions and tactical advice on challenges the founders have identified.
