I'm surprised about the stem cell company. Stem cell storage companies are notorious scams. I remember doing research into these when my first child was born.

There's only a small subset of diseases it can actually help, and until you can actually grow organs, it's generally useless, for a lot of money. Also you can generate stem cells from adult blood cells or bone marrow anyway.

What the YC company appears to offer doesn't seem much more than a Silicon Valley Blood Boy, the unproven promise of youth from young blood.




Don't understand the parent downvote, i was also very intrigued by the startup's claims. If someone with good expertise on the field could bring arguments that would be great.


YC is not very good at evaluating medical companies. Its track record is not great.




Consider applying for YC's Spring batch! Applications are open till Feb 11.
