Proactive Testing and Treatments

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

We built a platform that gives users direct access to the preventative health tests they need each year. Our service guides users through which tests to take, helps schedule them, and provides treatment options based on results, focusing on proactive health management.

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

We live in New York, NY, and plan for the company to be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York is where our initial users are - founders, executives, and athletes - and it's where we can network in health tech and consumer wellness. Staying here lets us move fastest with our core market.
