The first test designed to prevent birth control side effects

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a diagnostic test that predicts whether someone will have side effects from hormonal birth control. The product uses machine learning to analyze user data to provide a personalized health report before starting contraception. This helps avoid the trial-and-error approach that causes frustration and health issues.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We are based in Seattle, WA with a fully remote team. After YC, we plan to continue remote operations but keep Seattle as a central hub for our headquarters.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Seattle offers strong healthcare tech talent and a good cost-benefit balance for our team. Remote work enables us to access talent beyond geographic limits while maintaining a base in a well-connected city.
