8 Well-Funded Stem Cell Startups are Manipulating your DNA

Using stem cells or their derivatives, stem cell startups champion the production of regenerative medicine, also known as stem cell therapy, to promote the repair response of diseased, dysfunctional, or injured tissue. Instead of using donor organs in short supply, stem cells are used for stem cell therapy.

In this feature, the Editor-in-Chief of StartuptoEnterprise, Linda Ashok, talks to Joginder Tanikella, a proud YCombinator W19 alum. As a startup founder, interviewing Joginder Tanikella informs me of the many rubrics in healthcare technology. LA: Joginder, tell us something interesting about yourself, something unique about you, which contributes to your professional success today. JT: I am a full-stack coder and believe in execution.

Another fundamental rule I follow is to keep things simple and keep the focus on what's important. To make the "perfect" product, we often get distracted by various "cool" features and lose sight of getting the product to market. After all, ult...
