Helix Nanotechnologies

Technology finds information and delivers physical products to us almost instantly. mRNA does the same for biology. At HelixNano, we see a world where treatments are cheap, progress is decentralized, and you can modify biology at the push of a button. By focusing on mRNA improvements from first principles, we’re getting there faster than we thought. Experiments that used to take months or years can be done in weeks and cost thousands instead of millions. The rate limiting step for our progress i

Ritivel

match 57

Ritivel is an AI-native workspace for regulatory and medical writing teams at life sciences companies. Our AI agents draft CTDs, CSRs, INDs, and BLAs in minutes instead of weeks, helping drugs reach patients faster. Every month a drug is delayed from reaching the market costs pharma companies ~$45M in lost revenue and more importantly, delays treatment for thousands of patients who need it. Yet regulatory teams are stuck in a painful, months-long process: synthesizing thousands of pages of clini

Zeit Medical

match 49

Zeit Medical leverages the power of AI and wearable sensors to deliver peace of mind for those affected by stroke. Zeit’s smart headband immediately detects the onset of stroke and notifies 911. Each year more than 90% of the one million strokes in the US go untreated, resulting in life-long disability and exploding medical costs north of $100b. The lack of timely treatment is the result of delays in alerting the emergency services. More than 10 million Americans with an elevated stroke risk liv

Ophelia

match 49

Ophelia helps people quit opioids without going to rehab. We offer online doctor’s visits, withdrawal medication prescriptions, and support for long-term recovery, using a protocol 6x more effective than most rehabs (2/3rds of which don't have doctors). More than 3 million Americans are addicted to opioids, but 80% are not getting help, due to jobs, families, and privacy concerns. Meanwhile, there's a proven treatment that increases survival rates by 600%, and it's low cost, discreet, and conven

Kinro

match 49

We are building the first autonomous insurance brokerage. We hit $1M in annual revenue building insurance workflows for brokers. Then we realized the bigger opportunity was replacing them. In the US, there are 36 million SMBs, and 77% are underinsured because distribution is broken. Brokers can’t serve low-premium SMBs profitably: a $2K policy takes almost as much work as a $20K one. Kinro changes that. Our AI agents handle the full broker workflow 24/7, from finding prospects to binding policie

AnswerThis is a scientific discovery platform used by over 200,000 researchers that reduces weeks of manual research work to hours. Instead of manually searching, reading, and organizing dozens of papers, researchers use AnswerThis to find the most relevant work, see how ideas are connected, and get comprehensive answers to complex scientific questions with line by line answers. This allows them to map research gaps, analyze trends, and draft literature reviews far faster, all while building a s

Cinapse

match 41

Cinapse is reimagining the production schedule: the foundation of every film and TV project. We’re building the OS of Hollywood, starting with the tool that filmmakers use every day. Besides the script, nothing is more foundational to filmmaking. There’s no accurate budget without a schedule. No execution plan without one. The schedule is the map that takes us from idea to image. Cinapse helps filmmakers draw that map better, faster, and together.
