The TMCx is an accelerator focused on early stage digital health and medical device companies. It first opened October of 2014 as a core component of the Texas Medical Center’s Innovation Institute. In March of 2015, the TMCx announced its first cohort of 22 fledgling companies, all of which very health focused. Enrolling in the TMCx does not require membership fees or equity.

The TMCx publicizes that, for its health based startups, it uniquely facilitates access to the nearby health professionals as well as 7.2 million yearly patients of the massive sounding medical center.

==Acceleration program==
The TMCx program is four-months-long, in-house and prides itself on it’s ability facilitate network connections for its founders, which is why it’s required to have at least one founder present in Houston for the program’s duration.
==Curriculum==
The Curriculum begins with two intensive weeks of workshops, presentations and events aimed at solidifying a company’s value proposition, market fit and target customer base. After the two weeks, sessions become less frequent but are targeted at guiding founders in the following areas: IP, Product Development, Regulatory Strategies, Health Policy, Marketing, Fundraising and Contract Negotiations, and Communication.

Throughout the program, the TMCx also provides opportunities to connect with a spectrum of advisors as well as holding office hours where the directing team will meet directly with the companies to offer advice, criticism and identify fruitful connections.

To make sure that each company links with their target audience in the Medical realm, the teams will participate in Pitch Practice sessions as well as large audience events like Launch Day, Advisor Pitch Event, TMC Expert Forum and Demo Day. Demo Day is the culmination of the program in a showcase in front of 400 members of the innovation community.
