Data for biomedical AI

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

We build curated datasets and evaluation benchmarks specifically for health AI teams, focusing currently on oncology. Our product provides clean, structured biomedical data health organizations can use to train and test their AI models. We handle the hard parts of data collection, labeling, and curation so AI developers get reliable inputs without wasting time on messy raw data.

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

We live and are based in San Francisco, CA, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where the biomedical AI ecosystem and potential customers are concentrated. It lets us stay close to health organizations and AI researchers.
