that would be a potential YC idea. A company that enables smaller groups to do clinical research w/o needing an army of people to wade through the regulatory red tape. That also isn't in and of itself a giant predatory CRO type organization.

that's literally what pharma is now- companies that exist to help smaller groups get their research through the clinical and approval process. It would be hard to buidl that level of expertise in a smaller company.
