18 early stage start-ups selected to demo their innovations for long-term care at eCapWest2025, with Randi Zuckerberg moderating the live showcase.
LAKEWOOD, N.J., Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — eCap, the leading community and event platform for skilled nursing facility (SNF) operators, healthcare executives, and investors, today announced the finalists for Catalyst , a high-impact startup showcase and innovation accelerator debuting at eCapWest2025 this fall in Phoenix, AZ.
Designed to move beyond white papers and pilot purgatory, Catalyst highlights early-stage companies solving the industry’s most pressing operational, clinical, and workforce challenges. Finalists will gain unparalleled exposure and the opportunity to demo their innovation at eCapWest2025 before hundreds of operators, investors, and healthcare leaders.
Adding to the excitement, Randi Zuckerberg —entrepreneur, investor, bestselling author, and founder of Zuckerberg Media—will serve as the official facilitator and emcee for the live pitch series, guiding the audience through an interactive, founder-first showcase.
“Healthcare innovation is often trapped in white papers and pilot purgatory. Catalyst is about execution, outcomes, and momentum,” said Kim Silberman, Executive Vice President at eCap. “We’re giving the platform to founders who are building solutions that actually move the needle for real people—patients, providers, and operators alike.”
