Breakthrough medicines unlocking heme biology

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

We develop drugs that target the biology of heme to treat diseases where heme plays a central role. Our focus is on therapies that traditional approaches have missed because they don't address heme's unique biology. Our product pipeline currently includes novel small molecules aimed at oncology and other indications driven by heme dysfunction.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the biotech talent and investor community we need. We're already embedded in this ecosystem and building our team here.
