Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

We solve drug resistance for cancer

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

We build AI-powered drug discovery tools that identify therapies to overcome resistance in cancer treatment. Our platform analyzes biological data to predict how tumors develop resistance and suggests drug combinations to counteract that.

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

We live in Menlo Park, CA and Overland, MO currently. After YC, the company would be based in Menlo Park, CA to tap into the startup ecosystem and investor network.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose Menlo Park post-YC to be close to biotech innovation hubs and investors. Overland is where some of our operational and technical team is currently located, but the move aligns with strategic growth.
