Operating systems for biology labs

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

We build operating systems that manage biology labs' workflows and devices. Our product integrates lab hardware with software to automate and standardize experiments, helping scientists reduce errors and inefficiencies. It's designed for biology researchers who currently rely on patchwork tools and manual processes.

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

We live in Cambridge, MA. After YC, we plan to keep the company based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Cambridge is a biotech hub with access to talent and potential customers. Staying here lets us stay close to early users and collaborators, which is crucial for this hardware-software product.
