The YC application· Winter 2022 batch

Alumni Q&A

How did your company get started? (i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)
The idea came from seeing how much time nursing documentation consumed when the founders' grandfather entered a nursing home. Working with users, they built voice input for nursing documentation to free up time for direct care.

Summarized from the founders' answers on their Y Combinator profile.
