What Scoop does

We’re building AI agents that speed up drug trials by automating the manual consolidation and document prep required for every IND submission. Today, biotechs spend months stitching together reports from contractors and internal teams just to file and get to their first-in-human trial.

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Automating regulatory submissions for life sciences

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

We're building AI agents that automate the manual process of consolidating documents and preparing reports needed for IND submissions in drug trials. Our product takes the fragmented data from contractors and internal teams biotechs work with and stitches it together into compliant regulatory filings, which can otherwise take months of manual effort.

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

We currently live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're in San Francisco because it's where we both live and it has a strong biotech and AI talent community. Staying here keeps us close to early biotech customers and potential partners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Scoop YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Scoop's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Scoop would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
