Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Infrastructure for hospitals to monitor clinical AI

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

We built a platform hospitals use to safely deploy and monitor clinical AI models. Our system vets AI tools that fill clinical needs, runs ongoing evaluations to catch model drift, enforces compliance, and creates an immutable audit trail of decisions. This means hospitals can adopt AI without risking patient safety or their accreditations.

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

We live and work in New York City and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're in NYC because that's where both of us live and where our early hospital partners are located. It's a large medical hub, so staying here keeps us close to our users and their workflows.
