Surgical robotics company achieving world's first robotic-assisted HoLEP for prostate treatment; YC-backed targeting $10B+ urology market with Richard Wolf and Quanta System partnerships.
Andromeda Surgical is a surgical robotics company developing autonomous robots for urological procedures — specifically targeting the HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate) procedure used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH, enlarged prostate), a condition affecting 50%+ of men over 50. Founded in 2023 by CEO Nick Damiano and CTO Kartik Tiwari and a Y Combinator S23 graduate, Andromeda raised $500,000 in seed funding from CoreNest and YC, and achieved the world's first robotic-assisted HoLEP procedure in December 2024 — a significant clinical milestone.\n\nAndromeda's surgical robot assists urologists performing HoLEP procedures by providing precise laser energy delivery and tissue manipulation, targeting the improvement in procedural consistency and outcome reproducibility that robotic assistance provides across varying surgeon skill levels. HoLEP is considered the gold standard treatment for BPH but has a steep learning curve — it requires 30-50+ procedures to achieve proficiency, limiting its adoption to high-volume academic medical centers. Andromeda's robotic assistance aims to make HoLEP accessible at community hospitals by reducing the expertise barrier.\n\nIn 2025, Andromeda competes in the surgical robotics market with Intuitive Surgical (da Vinci for soft tissue surgery), GYRUS Medical (urological instruments), and emerging robotic surgery startups targeting different procedural niches for surgical automation. The global urology surgery robotics market represents a $3+ billion opportunity, with the broader HoLEP addressable market estimated at $10+ billion. Strategic partnerships with Richard Wolf (endoscopy equipment) and Quanta System (laser platforms) provide Andromeda with established distribution channels and clinical credibility. The 2025 strategy focuses on additional clinical procedures to build the safety evidence required for FDA clearance, expanding from the first-in-human milestone toward a pivotal trial for regulatory submission.
YC S23 AI-first ERP replacing NetSuite for scaling tech companies with 100+ clients in 9 months; $38.5M Accel Series A Jun 2025 competing with NetSuite and Sage Intacct for AI-native mid-market ERP and SaaS financial management.
Campfire is a United States-based AI-native enterprise resource planning (ERP) company — backed by Y Combinator (S23) with $38.5 million raised including a $35 million Series A led by Accel in June 2025 and a $3.5 million seed in May 2024 from Foundation Capital and Y Combinator — providing scaling startups and mid-size technology companies with a modern AI-first ERP platform that replaces NetSuite, SAP Business One, and Sage Intacct for companies outgrowing QuickBooks and Xero, delivering accounting, revenue management, and financial automation through an AI-powered system that integrates financial workflows without the implementation complexity and total cost of ownership associated with legacy ERP vendors. Founded by John Glasgow and participating in the YC S23 batch, Campfire achieved approximately 100 clients within 9 months of founding, including Advisor360, Rhumbix, and Fooji.
