Alumni Q&A
- What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?
- The founders identify patient recruitment for clinical trials as the main bottleneck in bringing new treatments to market, noting that over 70% of doctors want to tell patients about trials but fewer than 5% have ever referred a patient, largely because overworked doctors lack time to assess trial availability and eligibility. Their product, SelectIQ, is a provider activation platform that helps trial sites build and maintain networks of referring doctors, starting with automating chart review to determine which patients to contact about a study.
- What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?
- The founders aim to speed up drug development and lower its cost and risk, so that more treatment options are available to patients who need them.
