Agents that accelerate clinical trials.

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

We built a platform that automates the entire biometrics processes in Phase II/III clinical trials. Astraea takes raw study data and turns it into FDA-ready outputs, including normalization, CDISC mapping, SDTM, ADaM, tables, listings, figures (TFLs), quality control, and revision workflows - all auditable in one system. It cuts months of manual data programming and management into fully automated, reviewable runs for trial sponsors.

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

We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and plan to base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we both live and where the clinical trials and health tech ecosystem is concentrated. It keeps us close to customers and relevant talent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Astraea YC application?

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