krypt.co
|
krypt.co builds the next generation of mobile-based authentication, with a vision that authentication should be based on strong cryptography. Public key cryptography has existed for almost 40 years but it’s barely used for authentication. The private key is not memorizable. Most people cannot compute digital signatures in their head. Thereforewe need to store the private key somewhere. It has to be accessible but also kept a secret. At KryptCo, they tackles this very problem and believes that smartphone is core to the solution. | $1.2M / Seed / Jun 05, 2017 | |
uBiome
|
uBiome is a citizen science startup that sequences the human microbiome. As the first and largest successful crowdsourced citizen science project in history, we allow the public access to cutting edge sequencing technology and are building a data platform to gather, analyze, and translate data about the human microbiome. We have developed thefirst sequencing-based, clinical microbiome tests and are committed to empowering patients and their healthcare providers to understand and take greater control of their health. We provide actionable insights and information to help foster understanding about the microbiome and the role it plays in health and wellness.union's mission is to transform research into useful products based on the microbiome.uBiome is the world’s first effort to map the human microbiome with citizen science.While the sequencing of the human genome has provided invaluable knowledge, it is very difficult to change their own genetic makeup. The microbiome, in contrast, is much more easily changed through simple means such as healthful probiotic cultures and other lifestyle interventions. The microbiome thus may provide some of the most important medical breakthroughs of their era. uBiome will ultimately empower participants to manage their microbiomes to improve their health as well as make important scientific discoveries for humanity. | $22M / Series B / Nov 01, 2016 | |
