It's interesting to see at least 3 companies focused on fundraising (or crowdfunding) in this batch. Watsi (https://watsi.org/ https://watsi.org/ + http://techcrunch.com/2012/08/30/watsi/ http://techcrunch.com/2012/08/30/watsi/) and Microryza (https://www.microryza.com/ https://www.microryza.com/ + http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/25/microryza-yc/ http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/25/microryza-yc/) are also focusing on funding medical treatments and scientific research.
Also, getting public figures like Stephen Fry and Jamie Oliver is really great thinking, they are the perfect type of celebrity to help start something like this.
