Elevator Pitch

Most scientific work fails at the bench or in clinical trials. YC wants highly technical founders building foundation models for biology and medicine from scratch.

Get involved

Full Description

YC notes that the vast majority of scientific innovation fails, either during early bench experiments or in clinical trials.

YC argues that foundation models built on the vast amount of data now available could help scientists see which paths to pursue much sooner, and could open new scientific approaches to disease. Just as models built on text and images are enabling a new generation of consumer products, YC believes models built around biological systems will do the same for healthcare.

The ask: highly technical founders building foundation models from scratch in any part of biology or medicine.
