At Vator Splash Health, Privail won the People’s Choice Award. Here’s the video of Anwaar Al-Zireeni, Privail co-founder and CEO, giving on of the winning presentation.
Privail is developing point-of-care diagnostics for the early detection of infectious diseases, with an initial focus on HIV. Unlike current diagnostic methods, Privail’s test detects the virus itself and is available in a simple, low-cost and portable device. By getting tested immediately, patients can receive earlier and more effective treatment.
Privail competed against more than 50 companies at Vator Splash Health this February through three rounds.
Among the judges were Nina Kjellson (General Partner, InterWest Partners), Missy Krasner (Managing Director, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Box), John Steuart (Managing Director, Prolog Ventures, Garrett Dunham (Founder & CEO, Prebacked), Shomit Ghose (Managing Director & Partner, ONSET Ventures), Sharon Knight (Founder, Avik Ventures), Vishal Vasishth (Co-Founder, Obvious Ventures), and Mike McCormick (Audit Senior Manager, KPMG).
