AI-designed Affinity Reagents

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

We build affinity reagents designed by AI that bind specific proteins for research and diagnostics. Instead of relying on slow antibody development, we deliver validated molecular tools in weeks by combining protein design with experimental testing.

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

We live in San Francisco, and the company is based here now and will remain here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where our team lives and where biotech and AI talent concentrated, making it the right base to build and scale our platform.
