About Macromo

  • Czech startup Macromo, founded in 2021 by Eva Kuttichová, Petr Štěpánek and Michal Pohludka, uses machine learning, statistics and a custom-made artificial intelligence model to give everyone a clear and complete overview of their health risks. 

  • It would help people protect their health and allow their doctors to make more informed decisions before their clients develop visible symptoms of a disease. All based on DNA analysis.

“The vision of the three founders of Macromo, Eva Kuttichová; Petr Stepanek; Michal Pohludka, resonates strongly with Tomáš Čupr's idea of a new business ecosystem in the field of longevity, focused on holistic, long-term health care. What particularly appealed to us is the use of technology in diagnosis and interpretation of test results,” shared TCF Capital on its Linkedin page.
