AI platform for designing genomic therapies

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

We built an AI platform that accelerates discovery and design of genomic therapies, including cell, RNA, and DNA therapies. Our platform helps researchers and companies reduce the time and effort needed to develop new gene therapies by simulating and optimizing therapeutic candidates.

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

We live in Paris, France, and Boston, MA. After YC, the company will remain distributed with key hubs in Paris and Boston.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Our cofounders are split between Paris and Boston, reflecting where the expertise and early team are based. We want to stay close to major biotech hubs to remain connected to users and collaborators.
