AI for drug formulation

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

We simulate drug molecules on computers to guide pharma companies in their lab experiments. Our software helps them predict which formulations will work best, saving time and money by reducing trial and error in the lab. This ultimately lowers the risk in clinical trials and speeds FDA approval.

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

We don't have a fixed location now and would be based wherever YC is after the program.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We currently operate remotely and plan to move where YC is to get full advantage of the network and resources.
