About Panacea

Panacea is an AI-native FDA regulatory services firm that combines an ex-FDA regulatory team with its specialized AI platform to accelerate approval across 510(k), De Novo, PMA, IND, NDA and BLA pathways, from strategy through FDA approval. Pricing is fixed and milestone-based, so customers pay when defined deliverables are completed rather than by the hour. The company is based in San Francisco, is part of the Y Combinator Spring 2026 batch and was founded in 2026. Its customer stories page lists work with Adialante, Acoustic Wave Cell Therapy and Perlumis Surgery and says clients complete regulatory work in weeks, not months.
