Neural interfaces to decode nerve signals in medicine

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

We build neural interface technology that records and interprets nerve signals to improve medical treatment. Our current focus is on prosthetic neural interfaces, enabling more natural control and sensory feedback for users. We capture nerve data and use AI to translate it into commands or diagnostics that doctors and patients can use.

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

We live in Cambridge, England, UK, and the company is based there. After YC, we'll keep the base in Cambridge.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Cambridge gives us access to top neuroscience and engineering talent, partnering hospitals, and research institutions. It's the right place to build neurotechnology. We want to stay where our team and supporters are.
