23andMe for environmental exposures

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

We offer a urine test that measures chemical exposures from everyday products. Customers send in samples and get personal reports about what's in their environment that standard health tests don't cover.

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

We live between San Francisco and Berkeley, CA, and the company is based in those locations pre- and post-YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're already established in the Bay Area where we have access to the right scientific collaborators and labs. Staying here keeps us close to the innovation ecosystem and customers.
