Early skin cancer detection, for everyone
Skin cancer is the most common cancer worldwide, with over 5 million new cases annually in the U.S.—yet 50% of care needs will go unmet by 2030 due to a critical shortage of dermatologists.
SkinBit is redefining early skin cancer detection with the world’s first AI-powered millimeter-wave imaging platform, creating a living digital twin of your skin health. This revolutionary technology delivers 20% higher accuracy than current methods, providing fast, noninvasive, full-body skin scans in under 60 seconds.
By eliminating long wait times, reducing unnecessary biopsies, and making professional-grade screening widely accessible, SkinBit not only saves lives but also spares patients from the devastating impact of late-stage treatment.
With clinically validated technology, a clear go-to-market strategy, and a projected $70M in revenue within five years, we are building the future of dermatologic care—where early detection is the rule, not the exception.
From Patient to Founder
Jonathan's Melanoma Journey Births SkinBit
During a 2020 dermatologist visit, Jonathan's doctor found melanoma on his nose beneath his mask. Initially facing extensive nose reconstruction at Stanford, he advocated for Mohs surgery, which removed just 10-15% of what was planned. After being declared cancer-free, Jonathan founded SkinBit, a startup delivering faster, more precise, and affordable skin cancer monitoring and treatment solutions.
