We are excited to announce that NearWave Corp.(YC W22) is now backed by Y Combinator!

Y Combinator is the most renowned startup accelerator in the world and has backed companies like Airbnb, Stripe, Dropbox, Coinbase, and Reddit.

NearWave (YC W22) utilizes a handheld imaging device that enables doctors to understand pre-surgery breast cancer treatment response in just 1 week, rather than waiting the typical 3-6 months. This impacts 100,000 patients per year in the US, saving each patient months of toxic side effects during ineffective treatment and will increase in-office revenue for physicians.

We would like to thank our group partners Jared Friedman, Surbhi Sarna, and Nicolas Dessaigne and the entire YC team for their support. And we would like to thank all of the family, team members, universities, institutes, and investors that have helped us get to where we are today.🚀 University of Notre Dame, University of Notre Dame, Department of Electrical Engineering , The IDEA Center at the University of Notre Dame, Elevate Ventures, Harper Cancer Institute, Arizona State University , asu.io, TechPoint, Creative Destruction Lab , Colorado School of Mines and many more!
