Founder Story of the Week

How a French Engineer Turned Her Endometriosis Struggle into an AI Startup Revolutionizing Women's Health

At 26, Elise Mekkaoui co-founded Matricis.ai, an AI-driven platform aiming to transform the diagnosis of endometriosis—a condition affecting 1 in 10 women. After enduring a four-year diagnostic journey herself, Mekkaoui used her background in mathematics and data analysis to develop a tool that helps radiologists interpret MRI scans more accurately and efficiently.

Collaborating with physicist Raphaelle Taub and supported by institutions like INRIA and AP-HP, Matricis.ai is currently in clinical trials and plans to expand to the U.S. market. The startup's mission is to democratize expert care in radiology, reduce diagnostic errors, and improve patient outcomes in women’s health.

“Women’s health has become my cause,” says Mekkaoui, reflecting on her journey from patient to entrepreneur. Her work not only addresses a critical gap in medical diagnostics but also shows the power of combining lived experience with cutting-edge AI.

He’s already IPO’d once – this time’s different

Spencer Rascoff grew Zillow from seed to IPO. But everyday investors couldn’t join until then, missing early gains. So he did things differently with Pacaso. They’ve made $110M+ in gross profits disrupting a $1.3T market. And after reserving the Nasdaq ticker PCSO, you can join for $2.80/share until 5/29.

This is a paid advertisement for Pacaso’s Regulation A offering. Please read the offering circular at invest.pacaso.com. Reserving a ticker symbol is not a guarantee that the company will go public. Listing on the NASDAQ is subject to approvals. Under Regulation A+, a company has the ability to change its share price by up to 20%, without requalifying the offering with the SEC.
