A urine test that helps women get pregnant

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

We are building a hardware urine test designed to improve chances of conception by providing actionable fertility information to women. Our product helps women understand their fertility status in a simple and accessible way, focusing on accuracy and usability rather than cumbersome lab testing.

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

We live and are based in Waterloo, ON, Canada. After YC, we would continue to operate from here but are open to relocating if necessary.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Waterloo has a strong healthcare and tech scene, allowing us to recruit talent and collaborate with local partners. It also keeps operational costs lower than major US hubs, giving us more runway to build our product.
