Foundation models for orthopedic surgery

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

We build AI that creates surgical plans for orthopedic surgeons in minutes instead of days. Our system uses foundation models to analyze patient data and produce detailed, surgeon-ready plans to improve surgery outcomes. We're focused on replacing manual, slow planning processes with an automated, reliable alternative.

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

We live and work remotely at the moment. Post-YC, we'll base the company where it makes the most sense for our team and users, likely in a major US city with access to orthopedic surgery partners.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We prioritize working where we can focus and where our founders are located. After YC, we will consider proximity to hospitals or industry partners to accelerate FDA clearance and deployment.
