What Probably Genetic does

Probably Genetic is changing the lives of patients living with severe, complex diseases. Our data platform is used by drug developers and patient advocacy groups to develop and launch treatments for these patients. Our technology discovers undiagnosed patients online, analyzes their disease state using machine learning and at-home testing, and enables compliant communication with patients. In doing so, we help patients access diagnoses, clinical trials, and treatments as early as possible.

Patient Intelligence Platform for Genetic Disease

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

We built a platform that finds undiagnosed patients with rare genetic diseases by analyzing publicly available data and patient input. Our system uses machine learning to assess disease states and combines this with at-home testing. We then enable compliant communication between patients, drug developers, and advocacy groups to accelerate diagnosis, trial enrollment, and treatment access.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA and would remain based there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is the center of biotech and AI talent we rely on. It lets us stay close to partners, early users, and potential investors.
