Overview
Mantis Biotech (also branded as Mantis / Mantis Biotechnology Corp.) builds digital-twin and behavioral-forecasting infrastructure for humans, starting in healthcare. It ingests user-consented streams such as wearable physiology, device telemetry, digital activity, and clinical records, then sells scoped, revocable access to predictive outputs rather than raw data. Public sources disagree on headquarters and funding totals: YC/company pages point to New York City, while corporate/profile databases also list San Francisco. No public GitHub or X profile was found in the reviewed sources.
