You're In Business

PolyCypher Health is a verifiable early-stage biotech startup founded in 2023, focusing on polygenic risk scores and AI. However, the submission contains significant inaccuracies, specifically the claim that 'most people have used my product' and an 'all time marketcap' of 2.5M listed as revenue. External validation shows the company is currently raising a pre-seed round and conducting MVP validation, contradicting the mass-market traction claims. While the technical foundation (bioinformatics) and market timing are promising, the discrepancy between the submission's claims and the startup's actual pre-launch stage severely impacts the score.
