For healthcare companies
Inkwell is where verified health system leaders go to discover partners. Your company's profile, score, and materials are how they decide who's worth a conversation.
Inkwell is much more than a listing site — it's a vetting platform. Health system leaders use standardized profiles and scores to evaluate potential partners before they ever take a meeting. Here's what they're looking at.
A 4-dimension partnership readiness rating — Health System Readiness, Operational Maturity, Clinical Evidence, and Scalability & Fit. This is the first thing a health system leader evaluates.
Pitch deck, case studies, and standardized FAQ answers — the materials health system procurement teams need to evaluate you. Complete profiles get more attention.
Named health system partnerships are the single strongest trust signal. Health system leaders look at who you already work with before anything else.
Every company starts with a free listing. As your partnership readiness grows, you can upgrade to increase visibility and access deeper support. Each tier builds on the last.
Claim your profile and build your foundation. Upload your pitch deck and case studies, complete your standardized FAQ, list your health system partnerships, and see your private HOCS score. Use the profile completion tracker to identify gaps and strengthen your presence before going public.
Signal credibility and get discovered. Your HOCS score becomes public, the Verified by Inkwell badge appears on your profile and directory card, and priority placement puts you higher in search results. The analytics dashboard shows you exactly which health system types are viewing your profile and where you rank in your categories.
For companies that need strategic support beyond visibility. Direct advisory from the Inkwell team on health system targeting and positioning, featured top placement, co-marketing in the Partnership Pulse newsletter, monthly strategy calls, and custom introduction terms. Enterprise partnerships are application-only.
Your Inkwell-Rated score is based on four dimensions that health system leaders actually evaluate when considering a partner. Each dimension is scored 0–100 from verifiable evidence — not opinions, not marketing copy.
EHR integration depth, security certifications, implementation support maturity, health system client base, and whether your product is purpose-built for health systems.
Company age, team depth, funding stability, customer success infrastructure, and industry recognition. These tell a health system whether you can deliver at their scale.
Published research, outcomes data, regulatory status, and clinical advisory presence. For non-clinical companies, this evaluates ROI documentation, case studies, methodology, and domain expertise.
Deployment track record, geographic coverage, health system type flexibility, pricing model options, and contract readiness. Can you serve community hospitals, academic centers, and rural systems alike?
Your HOCS score is based on the evidence Inkwell can verify. At the Listed tier, it's generated from publicly available data — your website, press coverage, published research, and directory information. Claiming your profile and providing verified data (documents, FAQ answers, partnership details) gives Inkwell more evidence to work with. The more complete your profile, the more accurate and often higher your score becomes.

Every introduction on Inkwell is inbound — health system leaders discover you through the directory and request to meet. Inkwell never does cold outreach on your behalf. Here's what happens when a health system expresses interest.
A verified health system leader — a CSO, VP of Innovation or Partnerships, CIO, CMO, or similar — finds your company in the directory and submits an introduction request through Inkwell.
The Inkwell team personally reviews every request. That's what makes the introductions valuable.
Inkwell sends a personal email to both parties with context on each side — who the leader is, what they're looking for, what your company does, and why it's a fit. A Calendly link is included for easy scheduling. No awkward cold outreach from either side.
The conversation is yours. Inkwell doesn't take a commission on closed deals and doesn't sit in on meetings. Enterprise companies receive advisory support and coaching to help convert these conversations into partnerships.
Inkwell charges a flat $1,000 introduction fee per meeting — paid by the startup, never by the health system. There are no commissions on closed deals, no revenue sharing, and no hidden costs. Enterprise members receive custom terms. Inkwell's incentive is making good matches, not maximizing transaction volume.
