What Anima does

Hey, thanks for reading! We founded Anima out of a very personal problem. Again and again, we saw people dying because they got bad care plans, weeks or months late. We build Care Enablement for care teams - combining online consultation with productivity tools in a realtime multiplayer dashboard. By doing this, we get people optimal care within 24 hours.

Care enablement platform for healthcare teams

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

We're building a care enablement platform that helps healthcare teams deliver better care plans faster. Our product combines online consultations with real-time multiplayer dashboards that care teams use to collaborate and produce care plans within 24 hours, instead of weeks or months.

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

We live in London, England, and the company is remote with a base in London. After YC, we will continue to operate with a remote team based in London.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose London because of its strong healthcare ecosystem and talent pool, and because we are based here. Remote work lets us access the best people regardless of location, but London remains our main hub.
