Telehealth dietitians covered by insurance

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

We connect people with chronic conditions to Registered Dietitians through telehealth and get those visits covered by their health insurance. We built a platform that makes working with dietitians as easy and affordable as any other medical service.

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

We live in New York, NY, and plan to base the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're based in New York because it's a healthcare hub with a large population needing nutritional care. Staying here keeps us close to our early users, dietitians, and insurance partners.
