Our take

About 1 in 10 people have a rare disease, and half are children. Patients, researchers, and doctors working or living with rare diseases receive little industry support. It can be hard to find health data, funding, or trial patients required to get drug development off the ground. This is where AllStripes (formerly known as RDMD) came in. Founded in 2017, AllStripes is a health-data repository for rare diseases.

The platform offers obvious clinical benefits, and seems a stable revenue model. Patients benefit from receiving a detailed, manageable medical file, and in exchange this data is “de-identified” by AllStripes and sold to drug developers for vital clinical research. AllStripes is not extending its platform to a social network like Patients Like Me, nor is it incentivising use with 23andMe-style perks. This laser focus on sharing data, whilst restrictive, is a smart long-term strategy, as it precludes complicated liability and privacy issues further down the line.

Co-Founder and CEO Nancy Yu worked on business at 23andMe, so is practiced in navigating regulatory restrictions on highly sensitive data. It's likely this cautious, ambitious, but hyper-specific proposition will continue to win AllStripes strong funding going forward.

In addition to North America, AllStripes has now hot stepped into the UK - the company's first major expansion and is planning to expand all over the globe.
