You're In Business

MSInsight is a verified French health-tech startup (founded 2022) developing 'MSIcare', a bioinformatic tool for Microsatellite Instability diagnosis in cancer. External validation confirms significant Seed funding (~€1.7M) and participation in EU Horizon grants (PREDI-LYNCH). However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing blatantly false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'Audience: everyone') and inaccurate metrics (Team size of 125 is highly improbable for this stage; likely <20). The low score reflects the early 'prototype' stage of the product and the severe penalty for unreliable submission data, despite the high potential of the technology.

Description

MSInsight, a French health-tech company, empowers the fight against cancer by revealing actionable information from the genome. We are committed to developing a portfolio of state-of-the-art diagnostic solutions for Microsatellite Instability (MSI) status. MSI has been shown to be an indicator of treatment response, especially for immune checkpoint inhibitors, and as an important pan-cancer biomarker. We aim to propose bioinformatic tools for delivering insights on microsatellite mutational variations using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) data. Our flagship product, MSIcare, will be available as a robust diagnostic, prognostic, and theranostic assistant for guiding clinical decision-making.
