If you're interested in eye-tracking, I'm interested in funding you
I would love to hear pg's analysis of the business case for this company.By my math, 5k people in the US are diagnosed per year, and if your keyboard costs $1k, then your ARR is $5m, and maybe the company valuation is $50m. Numerically, this is pretty far from the goal of a typical YC company.I hate to be so cold-hearted about the calculations, but I've had a few friends get really passionate about assistive tech, and then get crushed by the financial realities. Just from the comments, you can see how many startups went either the military route or got acquired into VR programs.The worst I've seen, btw, is trying to build a better powered wheelchair. All the tech is out there to make powered wheelchairs less bulky and more functional, but the costs of getting it approved for health insurance to pay the price, combined with any possible risk of them falling over, combined with the tiny market you are addressing makes it nearly impossible to develop and ship an improvement. I do hope that we reach a tipping point in the near future where a new wheelchair makes sense to build, because something more nimble would be a big improvement to people's lives.
