Comment on 4Combinator, a startup accelerator focused on transforming medicine

Comments

The branding sounds like YCombinator for the 4chan demographic, but looks impressive.

Anyway, I don't think a bunch of "stealth" and purely profit-oriented startups will change medicine - this isn't much different than the status quo. I think what will truly change medicine is the FOSS model applied to science, i.e. the non-profit idealist mindset, who truly wants to advance science, and not just get rich quick (we know it's more profitable to invent WhatsApp or Instagram than cure cancer and not only for those who can afford it).
