Automated digital pathology lab

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

We built a fully automated digital pathology lab that scans, processes, and analyzes pathology samples without manual intervention. Our product turns glass slides into digitized images and uses software to assist pathologists, improving speed and accuracy in diagnostics.

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

We live in Houston, TX, and the company is based here. After YC, we plan to stay in Houston to keep close to the medical institutions and labs we collaborate with.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Houston is a hub for medical research and healthcare. Being here gives us direct access to hospitals and pathology labs, which is critical for building and testing our automated lab technology.
