What BloomAPI does

BloomAPI simplifies how medical records are transferred. Today the majority of records are still moved by fax and couriers. Patients, Doctors, and Insurance companies all benefit when medical records are available when they are needed for the care of patients. We make this possible.

Helps doctors share clinical data securely

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

We built BloomAPI to simplify how medical records move between providers. Instead of faxes or couriers, our API allows doctors, patients, and insurance companies to access records when they're needed for care, cutting down delays and errors.

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

We're based in Seattle, WA and will keep the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Seattle has a strong healthcare tech community and fits our team perfectly. Moving would disrupt our work and relationships with local healthcare providers.

Is this the real BloomAPI YC application?

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