Hyper-personalized & data driven wellness platform, Answer Genomics has raised $500K in a pre-series A Round from Inflection Point Ventures. The funds will be utilised for supporting sales & marketing efforts and expanding the talent pool through strategic hiring initiatives.

Additionally, these investments will enable Bengaluru-based startup Answer Genomics to continue pioneering advances in genomics and ultimately enhance the well-being of individuals through personalised health insights by sequencing 10K genomes in the next 12 months.

The company is collecting samples from people with their consent to create a database of genetic information. They take a small amount of blood and analyse more than 5 million data points from it. This helps them give personalized advice for staying healthy. Answer Genomics is already working with large companies to help their employees understand health issues with the help of genomics.

The company has also filed for 2 patents and holds publications papers in important peer reviewed journals.
