Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Developing mind emulation technology for healthcare

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

We are building technology to emulate human minds that can be used in therapeutic healthcare applications. Our product focuses on creating detailed digital representations of individual cognitive states to improve treatments for mental health conditions.

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

We do not have a fixed location. We plan to base the company wherever makes the most sense for our work after YC, possibly remote or near healthcare research hubs.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are location-agnostic because this work can be done virtually and benefiting from access to specialized healthcare and research communities is important after YC.
