Looking for a co-founder to apply for YC and changing psychiatry with AI

Hi, I'm Aidan. I'm on the lookout for a co-founder to apply to YC with a de-risked idea set to change the landscape of psychiatry treatment through AI. Here’s what we’re tackling: The Issue: Accurate diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is just the beginning; the real challenge lies in identifying its biological subtypes which dictate treatment strategies. Currently, there’s no reliable method to detect these subtypes, making treatment a hit-or-miss scenario. Our Solution: We’re developing an AI platform that uses EEG data and ML models to predict the most effective TMS treatments for MDD and potentially other diseases. Market Potential: There are 17 million MDD patients in need, plus countless others suffering from conditions that could benefit from better TMS treatment strategies. Our Team: I am an ex-founder of a VC-backed AI startup and have worked at companies like Microsoft and EY. My partner, as a researcher and ex-engineer at MediaTek, has successfully developed similar models, implemented in a major medical center in Asia, and is now eager to adapt this experience to the U.S. market. Why You Should Join: You'd be part of a venture that's not only technically validated but also has shown commercial promise. We need a co-founder who is as passionate about improving mental health as we are, with strong ties in the healthcare industry and experience in sales & BD or psychiatric research. Interested? Shoot me an email at aidan.new.venture@gmail.com with details about something impressive you've built, why you think you'd be a great fit, and your whatsapp. Join us to make a real difference in mental health care.
