Authoring documents for life sciences in minutes

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

We built an AI-based document authoring platform for life sciences companies. Our product turns raw clinical and regulatory data into submission-ready documents in minutes, cutting the months-long manual drafting process that currently delays product approvals.

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

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

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the right mix of talent, investors, and life sciences companies nearby to build and grow Artos. We want to stay close to our users and the broader biotech and health tech community here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Artos YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Artos's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Artos would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
