Epicenter, a Memphis nonprofit, named five startups to the 2026 ZeroTo510 cohort. Each gets $25,000 and 13 weeks in Memphis. Demo day is December 10.

Provision Surgical of Nashville is building AR smart glasses that turn medical scans into 3D guidance for knee replacement. OK2StandUP of Bedford, Pennsylvania combines physiologic and EHR data to predict hospital-acquired pressure injuries. ConvertaTek of Memphis has a modular shoulder implant that switches between anatomic and reverse configurations.

Ravan Medical of Houston makes PulmVac, a wearable chest drainage device for pneumothorax with real-time pressure monitoring. CuffWay of Columbia, South Carolina builds an automated cuff pressure controller for endotracheal and tracheostomy tubes.

The program name promises more than 13 weeks can deliver. What a cohort this short actually buys is a predicate search, a first pass at bench testing and a regulatory strategy you can take to investors, which is worth more than the $25,000.
