Randi Zuckerberg to Lead Catalyst Showcase at BHASe Summit 2026

From February 11–13, 2026, Randi Zuckerberg will return to center stage, hosting the much-anticipated Catalyst Showcase at the BHASe Summit. After its electrifying debut at eCapWest, which captivated attendees and showcased transformative pitches from innovative founders, Catalyst is coming back to continue its mission of fostering meaningful change in the behavioral health space.

Last fall, the stage at eCapWest became a vibrant hub of innovation as Randi Zuckerberg introduced the Catalyst Showcase to a packed audience. Attendees witnessed inspiring founders demonstrate their groundbreaking solutions, each one passionate about driving change in long-term and post-acute care. It was a moment that ignited conversations and sparked collaborations.

One of the standout presentations came from Gaurdoc Health, who won accolades for their user-friendly platform targeting documentation errors. Their platform has already tracked over 19,000 errors, freeing up 2,600 hours to focus on patient care, and has seen an impressive 90% engagement rate among its users. The energy in the room was palpable, with operators engaged in discussions about pilot programs and council members re-evaluating their own operational systems. This visible impact highlighted the potential of innovative tools that could revolutionize healthcare in the near future.

As the demand for effective solutions in behavioral health continues to rise, the timing for the Catalyst Showcase at BHASe could not be better. The behavioral health sector faces pressing challenges, including severe workforce shortages and persistent access gaps. The stakes are higher than ever, making the need for practical tools and scalable solutions paramount.

The BHASe Summit has historically brought together diverse stakeholders—providers, payers, innovators, policymakers, and investors. This year marks a shift towards a more proactive approach, with an emphasis on making significant advancements not just theoretical, but practical and actionable. The focus will be on early-stage startups that are dedicated to providing real solutions to improve access and outcomes in behavioral health.

Randi Zuckerberg expressed her enthusiasm about the upcoming showcase, stating, “Catalyst was one of the most innovative and organized pitch showcases I've ever seen. Every founder tackled real pain points, whether in payroll, rehabilitation, or AI, and demonstrated genuine traction. It felt as though I was witnessing the future of long-term health care unfold before my eyes.” The energy and enthusiasm at the previous event laid the groundwork for what’s to come at BHASe, where the focus will be on transformative solutions ready to be put into practice.

Applications are now open for early-stage startups in behavioral health and mental health aiming to pitch during the Catalyst Innovators Lounge at BHASe Summit 2026. This opportunity goes beyond a mere showcase—it's a movement geared towards placing innovation where it can make the most significant impact. Prospective participants are encouraged to apply before the deadline of December 22. For more information on applications, visit the BHASe Summit website.

The BHASe initiative represents a trusted ecosystem that connects operators in the behavioral health and addiction sectors with healthcare executives, innovators, and investors. With the support of eCap Management—creators of the renowned eCap and eCapWest conferences—the platform seeks to encourage connections that drive innovation in behavioral healthcare.

As the landscape of behavioral health continues to evolve, initiatives like Catalyst play a vital role in fostering collaboration and creativity, ensuring that the future of health care innovation maintains a steadfast focus on real-world solutions.

In conclusion, BHASe Summit 2026 and the Catalyst Showcase represent a crucial junction in bridging the gap between innovative ideas and their implementation in behavioral health settings. With Randi Zuckerberg at the helm, this event promises to catalyze the next wave of advancements in the industry.
