First personalized migraine clinic using genetics

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

We built a telehealth platform that uses patients' DNA to personalize migraine treatment. Our system combines genetic insights with expert care to find the right medication and manage treatment continuously. This approach helps patients reduce their pain and improve satisfaction with their migraine therapy.

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

We live in London, San Francisco, and remotely. Post-YC, the company will remain distributed between London, SF, and remote to maintain access to talent and markets in both the US and UK.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose these locations because migraine care and telehealth markets exist in both London and San Francisco. Remaining distributed allows us to serve patients effectively across time zones and recruit global talent.
