The EC and Project Healthcare, a briefing for Oracle

The EC, in brief

A 501(c)(3) nonprofit, founded in 2010, housed in the historic Trolley Barns downtown. One mission: increasing the likelihood of success for entrepreneurs. By 2027, the EC will help 1,000 entrepreneurs a year start and grow their companies.

PreFlight turns an idea into a tested, validated business plan.

TakeOff takes founders from idea to launch with mentors who've done it.

InFlight sharpens positioning, sales, and strategy for growing companies.

Project Healthcare puts founders in the rooms where health systems buy.

Capital access through Capital Connector and a dedicated Capital Expert-in-Residence.

Membership and events connect 300+ active members, 200+ advisors, and weekly programming.

One of those doors matters most for this conversation. Here is what comes out of it.

Every company here went through Project Healthcare and went on to these results. The founders did the work. The program opened the doors.

How fast it moves

30x

Atadas grew revenue 30x with support of Project Healthcare. The company now serves 600+ provider customers across 10 states and holds a patent for remote medication monitoring.

Where the program goes next

Project Healthcare is growing on three fronts.

Bigger cohorts, wider recruiting. More founders, from more markets, competing for each seat.
An alumni network becoming a membership community. 113 tracked companies stay connected to the program, to each other, and to Nashville.
Buyer access built in. Cohorts walk into Lifepoint Health, Ascension Saint Thomas, Ardent Health, HealthStream, and Amsurg on immersion visits. Founders meet buyers, not just mentors.

      Alumni come back to teach. Spring 2026 sessions and panels featured six returning alumni founders. Nobody returns to a program that didn't work.
    

Where Oracle could fit

A few starting points, shaped by what Oracle brings to Nashville.

Host an immersion visit. Bring a cohort of healthcare founders into Oracle's Nashville campus or executive briefing center. The EC ran this format for 13 MIT Foundry Fellows in April 2026.
Mentors and speakers from Oracle Health. Founders selling into health systems want time with the people who operate them.
AI and cloud expertise for founders. Content, office hours, and technical guidance as cohort companies build.
Help international health companies scale US-ready tech. A company serving 6M people abroad has to re-architect to serve 60M here. Cloud compute and AI credits change that math.
