WHAT we do

Programs built to move the ecosystem forward.

Everything Bonne Fire runs is designed to do one thing: make it easier for the right people to find each other, learn from each other, and build together.

  • Community Gatherings

    Monthly happy hours, coffee chats, webinars, and welcome events for conferences. 18 events last year. Open to all.

  • The Spark Series

    Speaker programming that brings focused conversations on health innovation to the community. A space to learn from the people doing the work — and to ask them hard questions.

  • Mentorship (coming soon!)

    Connecting emerging health innovators with experienced practitioners, founders, and leaders across the ecosystem. Structured matches. Real relationships.

“I finally attended one of Bonne Fire ATL's monthly happy hours recently and it did not disappoint! Connecting with people who are working to improve healthcare and driving innovation across the broader health space was both energizing and inspiring.”
