Palo Alto · Personalized health testing for chronic illness: an at-home blood test paired with an AI health agent for people who feel unwell but whose standard bloodwork reads normal. Starting with Long COVID. A Stanford Snyder Lab spin-out.
Jo Teichmann
Co-founder & CEO of Muno.
Right now I'm building Muno Biotech, together with Dr. Michael Snyder and Dr. Linda Lan: personalized health testing for chronic illness. It pairs an at-home blood test with an AI health agent for the roughly 35 million Americans who feel unwell but whose standard bloodwork comes back normal and are told they're fine.
Each draw reads 1,000+ lab tests and compares your profile against deep longitudinal molecular profiles of healthy people from Stanford's Snyder Lab, surfacing where you diverge and what has helped biologically similar patients. We start with Long COVID, where molecular subtyping can point to the right intervention. Muno is a spin-out of the Snyder Lab, grounded in my master's thesis there on B-cell receptor repertoires in Long COVID patients, and the years-long research of my co-founders.
Before Muno, I scaled a telemedicine company (Cada Health) to 3,000+ patients and $2M ARR before its exit, co-founded a DNA personalized-medicine company (Cavivi) with the Director of Biomathematics at Stanford's Genome Technology Center, and co-founded Lima Labs, a computer-vision crop-detection company that grew to 25 people and led the most commercial drone flights in East Africa.

Music
Throughout the year I collect songs, tracks that catch something I can't quite name. When enough of them accumulate, I mix them into a single continuous set. It's an exercise in listening, in finding the thread between two records that didn't know they belonged together.
Motorcycles
When I'm not building companies or doing research, I'm most likely on two wheels.
