## About Epia Neuro

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Epia Neuro is developing a minimally invasive, implantable brain-computer interface system that translates neural intent into real-world action, starting with stroke recovery and expanding to cognitive decline and other neurological disorders.
- **Entity Type**: Private (stealth-stage startup – officially launched April 2026; no funding round disclosed)
- **Headquarters**: Alameda, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2026 (official launch); development began approximately 2021
- **Founders**: Michel Maharbiz, Ph.D. (CEO) and Gil Mandelbaum, Ph.D. (CTO & Science Officer)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Medical Equipment Manufacturing / Neurotechnology (Brain-Computer Interfaces)
- **Target customers**: B2B – hospitals, neurosurgery departments, rehabilitation clinics; B2C – stroke survivors and individuals with movement or cognitive impairments
- **Mission statement**: “To address the gap between intent and action” – building neurotechnology that gives back the freedom to move and think

## Products & Services
- **Implantable Brain Interface**: A proprietary neural interface that captures signals without piercing the dura. Designed for sub-hour implantation by any neurosurgeon. Supports both sensing (reading neural intent) and stimulation (closed-loop therapy). Rechargeable non-invasively via headset and built with a cradle system for future upgrades without additional invasive surgery.
- **Decoder System / Closed-Loop Intelligence**: Adaptive algorithms that interpret neural signals in real time and adjust stimulation parameters continuously, building a personalized “longitudinal map” of each patient’s neural activity.
- **Wearable Grip Assist**: A lightweight, daily-use motor prosthetic that helps stroke survivors grasp, hold, and release objects. Developed with input from survivors, advocates, and clinicians.
- **Platform Expansion**: The stroke therapy acts as a proof-of-concept for treating epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, cognitive decline, and other neurological conditions through combined sensing and deep brain stimulation.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly available (company is pre‑revenue and privately held)
- **Key Metric**: Total funding – not publicly disclosed (company is “totally independent” according to Inside BCI, with no disclosed investors)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Institutional advisors include Mass General Hospital, Lenox Hill Hospital (first‑in‑human trial site), Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and Harvard Medical School. No formal investor list has been released.
- **Growth Signals**: Official launch April 2026; plans for first‑in‑human system demonstrations at Lenox Hill Hospital (New York) later in 2026; headcount of 24 employees (as of mid‑2026) with active hiring across engineering, electrical systems, and clinical roles; increasing LinkedIn follower base (1,459) and strong social engagement on launch posts.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Minimally Invasive**: Implant sits entirely within the skull, no breach of dura – reduces surgical risk compared to penetrating cortical BCIs.
- **Quick Procedure & Scalability**: Designed for sub‑hour implantation by any neurosurgeon, facilitating broad clinical adoption.
- **Upgradable & Long‑Life**: Cradle system allows device upgrades without additional surgery. Rechargeable headset eliminates the need for battery‑replacement surgeries.
- **Closed‑Loop Read/Write**: Both senses neural signals and delivers stimulation, enabling adaptive, real‑time therapy (beyond read‑only BCIs).
- **Platform Approach**: Stroke motor recovery is the entry point; the same hardware/software stack can address epilepsy, Parkinson’s, and cognitive decline, creating a large addressable market (estimated >$5B US opportunity for stroke alone).

## Strategic Focus
- **Near‑term**: Complete first‑in‑human demos, prepare for regulatory submissions (FDA), and scale the engineering team.
- **Medium‑term**: Leverage stroke clinical data to build evidence for cognitive decline and other indications; broaden the implant’s deep brain stimulation capabilities.
- **Long‑term**: Become a standard‑of‑care neural interface platform for a wide range of neurological disorders, with an emphasis on “widely accessible” neurotechnology.

## Why Work Here
- **Mission‑Driven**: Employees directly contribute to restoring independence for stroke survivors and people with neurological conditions (“If you want your work to restore independence for millions of people, we want to hear from you.”)
- **Cutting‑Edge Technology**: Work on the frontier of medical BCI, combining implantable hardware, adaptive AI, and real‑time neural decoding.
- **Early‑Stage Culture**: As a recently launched startup (~24 employees), you’ll have outsized impact on product design, clinical strategy, and company trajectory.
- **Multidisciplinary Team**: Composed of engineers, neuroscientists, and operations leaders from iota Biosciences, UC Berkeley, Harvard, and industry.
- **Work Style**: Likely in‑office in Alameda, CA (with a small presence in Canada); no formal remote/hybrid policy announced yet.
- **Active Hiring**: Open roles include Staff/Principal Electrical Systems Engineer, Analog Mixed‑Signal Design Engineer, and other technical positions (see careers page).
