In this episode of the Common Grounds Podcast, I sit down with Grace Gill and Diana McDaniel, Executive Director of the Fuel Accelerator in Bentonville, Arkansas, to talk about the exciting **Spring 2026 HealthTech Cohort** that's coming up.
We dig into what makes Fuel such a unique launchpad for health tech and med tech startups, what they're looking for in their next cohort, and why Bentonville has quietly become one of the most interesting ecosystems in the country for innovation. We also talk about something near and dear to my heart — the power of connection and community, and why Fuel is one of those rare places where the right introductions can change everything.
Whether you're a startup founder, a healthcare executive, or just someone who believes in the power of relationships, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
