Congrats to the team @LuminateMed (YC S21) on the $15M Series A! Luminate makes devices that help cancer patients prevent the side effects of cancer treatment. Their first product, Lily, is a cap that enables chemotherapy patients to prevent hair loss. techcrunch.com/2024/09/18/lum…
@ycombinator @LuminateMed WOAH how does this work???
Now this is real technology. @luminatemed : I run a podcast with 10k subs on youtube, both me and my cohost lost our mothers to cancer and we would love to have your founders on our show to talk about that. My mother was devastated when she lost her hair, so this product is a blessing.
@ycombinator @LuminateMed @coolerheads_ has been saving chemo patients’ hair for over a year through their patented and easy to use portable cold capping system and is available at over 72 cancer centers. @KateDilligan
@ycombinator @LuminateMed That’s incredible
@ycombinator @LuminateMed More companies like this, please, and less AI "API wrapper bullshit".
@ycombinator @LuminateMed I'm sorry, doesn't this exist already?
@ycombinator @LuminateMed @hankgreen Have you seen this?
@ycombinator @LuminateMed Now I know why YC rejected me. Chemo works 2% of the time and doctors get paid $9K per treatment. Cancer is preventable in many cases. Some good ways to prevent it here: HealthInsightsLLC.com
