50 Partners Health

What 50 Partners Health does

50 Partners Health is the health vertical of the 50 Partners startup accelerator, run by the Paris-based asset management company 50 Partners Gestion SAS (AMF registration GP-20000037). Founded in 2012 by Jérôme Masurel, the program targets early-stage e-health, medtech, and biotech startups, running an annual cohort of 6–8 companies selected from more than 2,000 applications (an acceptance rate below 1%). The accelerator delivers a structured 9-month BOOMS program combining bootcamps, immersion weeks, mentor office hours, and 100+ annual ecosystem events, supported by a network of 50 entrepreneur-partners — founders of category-defining French health companies such as Biocodex, Doctolib, and Lifen — and more than 500 entrepreneurs and experts.

The platform's core product is the cohort-based accelerator model, augmented by a dedicated FPCI seed fund (50 Partners Capital Health, launched 2024) that enables the firm to write equity checks into portfolio companies. Notable technical components include the BOOMS curriculum, the entrepreneur-partner mentorship infrastructure, and the deal-sourcing funnel that processes 2,000+ applications per year. The wider 50 Partners ecosystem also operates Tech, Impact, and Web3 verticals, giving Health founders cross-vertical exposure and an international network spanning France, the USA, Singapore, and China.

The business model combines management fees and carried interest from the AMF-regulated FPCI funds with accelerator program participation. Capital deployment is exemplified by the 2024 co-investment of €5M in En Carta Diagnostics. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; commercial scale is implied by the management of multiple FPCI vehicles, a team of approximately 30 founders, managing directors, and investment directors, and a portfolio of 130+ companies across the four verticals.
