Company Profile:

Constellation

Constellation prevents skin cancer by catching the earliest sign: a mole growing faster than normal. Constellation's cloud-based computer vision is the first to automatically image your entire body and track every mole's changes over time.

Q: What's the most inventive, innovative, or disruptive aspect of your initiative?

A: We have invented a new metric. We can detect changes in the skin over time.

Q: Please tell us how your business idea was conceived. Was there an "aha" moment or did it evolve gradually?

A: Two of our co-founders, Christian Bailey and Jonathan Swerdlin, met at 
Nexus when Jonathan had a 21-year-old friend with stage IV melanoma and they saw an opportunity to address the most common form of cancer.

Q: What single word or phrase best describes the culture of your startup and why?

A: Outraged. Why is the most preventable form of cancer also the most common?

Q: How will it help people live to their greatest potential or contribute to making the world healthier?

A: Currently one American dies of melanoma every hour.  With a Constellation scan as part of every annual physical, everyone can feel confident that skin cancer is preventable.

Q: Five years from now, what would you like to be able to say has been your most important contribution to health?

A: Unseating skin cancer as the number one form of cancer.
