The annual college basketball bonanza is right around the corner, and that means it's also time for MD+DI's Medtech Startup Showdown In our competition's third year, medtech startups will face off against each other in brackets. Enter your startup now!

It's already time for the MD+DI's third Medtech Startup Showdown. In this contest, medical device startups compete against each other to determine who has what it takes to succeed in the industry.

Here's how it works: We'll organize startups into a tournament bracket, and each week give our readers the chance to vote for their favorites. The team in each bracket that gets the most votes will move on to the next round.

To be considered for the tournament, startups will need to fill out the form below and include a photo or mockup of their device. All answers and materials provided will be made public, with edits if necessary.

Check out last year's Round 1, Round 2, Round 3, and Finals for more competition details.

The winner of the tournament will be profiled on MD+DI. 

Deadline to enter is Friday, March 17, 2017.
