Starling Medical
Starling Medical is a Houston-based digital health company (Y Combinator W22) building an at-home urine monitoring platform that clips onto a toilet and analyzes urine at every bathroom visit. Using spectroscopy sensors and AI, its UrinDx / StarStream device sends readings to a clinical care team that follows up when something looks off, aiming to catch recurrent UTIs, BPH flare-ups, kidney disease and diabetes complications before they become hospitalizations. The company bills through remote patient monitoring reimbursements, turning routine bathroom trips into a continuous diagnostic stream.

Souvik Paul is the CEO and Founder of Aurie, a medtech company that built the first FDA De Novo-cleared reusable intermittent catheter system. A Harvard-educated designer and former J&J strategist, Paul was driven to start Aurie after witnessing a family member's struggle with catheter-associated infections following a spinal cord injury. His Oakland-based startup has raised $14.24M and is pioneering a no-touch, automatically disinfecting catheter system designed to transform care for the 600,000 Americans who rely on intermittent catheters.
