What Panacea does
Panacea provides AI-native FDA regulatory services for Biotechs and Medical Device companies. We hire the most experienced FDA consultants in the industry (ex-FDA, decades of experience, hundreds of filings) and pair them with our AI platform to enable the fastest and lowest cost pathway to FDA approval. While other regulatory consultants bill hourly, our pricing model is simple: fixed, outcome-based pricing. Payment is only due when milestones are complete. We support all FDA regulatory pathways including IND, NDA, BLA, ODD, Pre-Subs, 510(k), De Novo, PMA, IDE, BDD, etc.

AI-Native FDA Regulatory Services
We built an AI-driven platform that pairs experienced FDA regulatory consultants with biotech and medical device companies. Our product guides users through every FDA pathway - from 510(k) to NDA - with fixed milestone-based pricing instead of hourly billing, making approvals faster and cheaper.
We live and operate in San Francisco, CA, and Panacea will remain based there after YC.
San Francisco is the biotech and med device hub with easy access to regulatory experts and biotech startups. It's the right place to hire, sell, and stay close to our customers and advisors.
