The 48 finalists were selected from the initial pool of 244 startups through a process of presentations and evaluations from investor and executive judges.

“MassChallenge has been an amazing experience for Ozark IC, and me, in particular” said Dr. Matt Francis, Ozark IC’s Founder and President, “While it is definitely a great validation of our team and our products, the access to our mentors has had an enormous impact. They have provided invaluable advice on everything from presentations to company organization and priorities. Whether we are a final winner or not, going through the MassChallenge process has been of enormous benefit to Ozark IC and me personally. I am very grateful to MassChallenge and the Houston Cohort.”
