"We are excited to be recognized as a progressive, up-and-coming company -- especially given the tough competition to be selected," says Clarence Carlos, RC21X CEO. "More importantly, guidance from StartUp Health and access to its networks will be crucial in accelerating our growth. This is an important step in our efforts to provide a full suite of services built around brain health."
