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

We are developing small molecule cancer therapeutics that inhibit immune suppression in the tumor microenvironment. Our drugs activate patients' immune systems to attack tumors more effectively. We are initially focusing on treating mesothelioma and plan to expand to other solid tumors.

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

We live in Lehi, Utah, and the company is based here. We will continue to be based here after YC.
