New therapeutics to rejuvenate tissue and treat age-related diseases

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

We are developing therapies that target the biological causes of aging to rejuvenate tissue and treat multiple age-related diseases. Our product focuses on restoring tissue function by addressing cellular and molecular damage that accumulates with age.

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

We currently live in San Carlos, CA, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Carlos is our base because it's close to the biotech and healthcare hubs in the Bay Area, which gives us access to talent, collaborators, and potential partners essential for therapeutics development.
