What you likely need
You're a YC S26 founder at the earliest stage of building Lumeria, with a strong biotech and bioengineering background and a prior startup exit under your belt. The highest-leverage events for you right now are those that connect you with YC-network founders, biotech/healthtech investors, and operators who've scaled consumer health hardware — the Oura Ring comp you're building toward. You'd also benefit from tactical sessions on fundraising narrative and go-to-market for a hardware-adjacent health wearable.
