82 projects were on the second day of the YC Demo Day demonstration stage. We introduced 15 of them and hope to bring you some new inspiration.

The YC Demo Day summer venue, hosted by Y Combinator, the world’s most prestigious startup incubator, has ended. A total of 197 companies participated in the roadshow during the summer YC demo day, and 82 of them took the stage the next day.
In the previous article, we’ve introduced it to the first day. 15 start-ups belonging to the mainstream market, including the “space tug” of the future transportation track, the “enterprise activity CRM” of the enterprise service track, and the “DNA information storage” of the technology hardware track…
In this article, we will continue to introduce 15 of the 82 companies that participated in the road show the next day, covering medical, technology, business, and consumer circuits. Services include: “cell bio-debukers” who use RNA technology to supervise drug operation supervision, “AR surgical equipment” using visual CT and MPI technology, SaaS platform managed by SaaS subscription service…
Not much to say, the above project:
Medical Health:
Asher Bio: Manufacturer of Immunotherapeutics
Create immunotherapy that is 1000 times more accurate than existing solutions!
Asher Bio is developing immunotherapeutics that are used to boost the patient’s immune system to immunize cancer cells.
It is understood that the existing anti-cancer immunotherapy has strong side effects on the human body, such as fever, vomiting, ulcers, and even severe shock death.
The early testing of Asher Bio’s initial drugs in mice showed that their immunologic accuracy was 1,000 times higher than the current common solution, and the increased precision reduced the immune drugs attacking other organ cells. And the resulting immune side effects.
Co-founder and CEO Ivana Djuretic is a Ph.D. in immunology at Harvard University, and CTO Andy Yeung is a Ph.D. in protein engineering at MIT, with considerable knowledge of immunopharmaceuticals.
Arpeggio Bio: Biotechnology Service Provider
Cell biology “debug”, drug operation “paparazzi”.
This startup provides an RNA analysis technique to observe the effects of drugs in the body.
The biological tools provided by conventional tools in biology are generally incomplete images, which can easily lead to prediction errors in drug effects. And the RNA technology provided by Arpeggio Bio can create a “movie” for drug operation — a time-series profile that provides a complete picture of what the cell is doing and what it will do next to more accurately predict How the drug affects the system.
The two key innovations of Arpeggio technology are: First, using industrial bioanalysis technology, you can quickly obtain high-resolution snapshots of cellular RNA activity while enabling researchers to measure thousands of genes. Second, the development of machine algorithms allows people to experiment at low sequencing depths, not only reducing the cost of experimentation but also allowing for longer, more intensive time series detection.
Most biological experiments compare cell status at only two time points: before and after treatment, and lack of everything that occurs between the two and why. Arpeggio bio’s algorithm restores the intracellular causal signaling network, allowing customers to explore the situation before and after treatment using the company’s proprietary Insights analysis platform.
The company’s revenue this year was $750,000, and they said they are working with four of the top ten pharmaceutical companies, including Novartis.
Z Imaging: AR Surgery Equipment Provider
Is it not far from the future of surgery for yourself?
This startup is providing AR guidance tools for surgery. The goal is to make surgery easier and more accurate by providing the surgeon with an internal view of the body.
Z Imaging has developed a real-time coverage of the patient’s body using a visual CT or MRI, accurate to sub-millimeters. Reusable trackers help healthcare professionals easily track catheters, needles and other devices throughout the entire procedureThe movement of the weapon in the human body. At the same time, Z Imaging can also highlight lesions or surgical resection targets according to settings, and plan surgical trajectories for medical staff and image tracking using multimodal image fusion tools,
So far, Z Imaging has received a letter of intent from a number of well-known hospitals, with a cooperative price of approximately $360,000. For cooperative hospitals, Z Imaging charges a monthly rental fee of $15,000.
Z Imaging’s surgical equipment is in the pre-FDA phase and is expected to be in a cooperative hospital for clinical research in January this year and may be approved by the FDA by the end of next year.
Front Edge Technology:
spotLESS Materials: Clean Technology and Products Provider
Winter glasses will never fog again~
This company invented a liquid-infused coating that is water and other liquids while keeping the surface clean. The coating itself is a super smooth surface with few things to attach. The coating after the injection of the liquid is more flexible and variable, and is advantageous for satisfying various shapes.
spotLESS just announced two weeks ago that it has reached a contract value of 166,000 US dollars and pilot cooperation. Its partners include the US Navy and the Pennsylvania State Government, which are trying to promote the product in a bathroom setting.
SpotLESS products are mainly used in 4 scenes: camera equipment lens protection; car windproof, anti-fog glass; toilet and sink; biological research.
