ROSEVILLE, CA—Med-Ready Healthcare, LLC, was selected as a finalist at the Sacramento Innovation Showcase regional qualifying round for the California Business Ascent Challenge. The challenge is hosted by the Golden Capital Network and endorsed by the Business, Transportation and Housing Agency. The Sacramento Showcase featured a slate of entrepreneurial companies pitching their plans to an expert panel of leading venture capitalists, angel investors and industry experts in a live Web broadcast. The top three scoring companies were qualified for the statewide championship November 17-18th in San Diego, California.
Med-Ready Healthcare is a three-pronged company providing medical house call services, healthcare staffing for the government sector, and a 501 C3 non-profit that funds healthcare screenings for children in the local community. Med-Ready was founded in 2008, and has already gained traction in the region despite the down economy.
“We are thrilled to be selected for the State Championship round,” said President Ray Guanill. “Most of the companies competing were presenting a new type of technology or software, but our services are just the opposite. We are just taking a new twist on medical care. Med-Ready provides modern medicine with old fashioned service. I think this shows that there is and will be a strong demand for our service as time goes on.”
Innovation and entrepreneurship are the key drivers to economic health and prosperity according to Business Ascent, and the purpose is to identify, coach, and showcase up to 200 innovative growth companies from diverse geographies, industry sectors and development stages to acknowledge and accelerate their success. “The feedback we received from the panelists regarding our business model was very helpful,” said Nanette Madsen, Director of Government Affairs and the presenter at the Challenge. “It was equally beneficial to meet with other developing companies to discuss our various businesses. We were very encouraged by the response we received from our colleagues,”
