Call me an old fart, but I think startups like these are good to have. No offense to any of the YC founders, but I think the variety of YC companies that are operating sometimes makes me feel that the "idea bar" is quite low.
Though, I think this EDC/clinical trails data collection is a great place to innovate in. Having worked as a software engineer in a CRO before, I know how slow the development lifecycles are and sometimes even the end users are very slow to adopt. A startup can shake things up by pushing for better data collection and analysis techniques, more automation as well as better end to end phase management.
- ryannielsen 14y agoFWIW, Comprehend is a YC company – YC W11.
- c0mpute 14y agoI actually wrote that knowing very well they are a YC company. What I feel is that there are some awesome ideas/challenges being worked on by YC companies and then there are not so inspiring ones. Maybe a dilution due to more available pool of money. Somehow I felt YC should only work on really challenging problems, but its a perception that doesn't lead to profits always :).
