They sound like amazing guys to work with. I'm sending you an email.

Earlier this week, you listed your specific investment interests. If we are working on one of those tough problems in regulated environments, what is the best way to get a serious consideration from Y Combinator (apart from continuing to build as fast as we can & talking to our initial users)?

The majority of research conducted in the US is at academic centers. Scientists employed by these institutions have been given strict rules by administrators on how/whether they can solicit input or disclose IP generated at their workplaces.

Hi Aaron & Michael, There is a 20-year-backlog of life-saving therapies that are left sitting in university laboratories untested and 30 million Americans suffering from untreatable rare diseases who have no idea these potential cures exist.

My best friend and I are developing a medical research discovery platform. We allow people passionate about a condition to discover, promote, and eventually fund cutting-edge research.

We've been working to seed the platform & overcome the regulatory barriers that have previously prevented success in this space. How can we balance the slow bureaucratic requirements of university administrators to correctly implement our solution with the early rapid growth needed for our startup?
