Two teen founders dropped out of school and raised $3 million out of Y Combinator. Read their pitch deck.

Novoflow sees AI "replacing the entire operational scope of medical clinics," cofounder Mathieu Rihet said.

  • Novoflow is building AI agents for medical clinics.
  • Cofounders Mathieu Rihet and Georges Casassovici both dropped out of school to attend Y Combinator.
  • Here's the pitch deck they used to raise $3.1 million in funding.

Nineteen-year-old Mathieu Rihet initially wanted to be a cardiothoracic surgeon. After he was diagnosed with essential tremors, he decided to pursue an entrepreneurial path.

In his sophomore year at Emory University, Rihet came across a LinkedIn post by Georges Casassovici, 18, a high school student seeking a non-technical cofounder to build with. The two began brainstorming on different ideas virtually, and both dropped out of school after being accepted into Y Combinator's Spring 2025 class.

Now, their startup Novoflow is building AI agents for medical clinics. The idea for Novoflow stemmed from Rihet's experiences working as a medical translator and witnessing the healthcare system's inefficiencies firsthand.

Rihet and Casassovici met this year for the first time in San Francisco, where they are now building the company in a live-work space that will also house two future employees. They developed an AI product that automates tasks and brings together disparate electronic health records systems, starting with cancellation recovery and appointment booking.

The company has just raised $3.1 million in funding, led by super angel Justin Hamilton, with participation from N1 Ventures, Multifaceted Capital, and Standard Partners Fund.

In the future, Rihet sees AI "replacing the entire operational scope of medical clinics," from billing to scheduling to fulfilling prescriptions.

The Novoflow team comprises a junior founding engineer and an account executive, and the company plans to use its funding to hire two additional engineers and another sales executive, Rihet said.

While Casassovici dropped out of school to start Novoflow, he still received his diploma after opting for pass/fail grading. Neither of the founders plan to return to school, Rihet told Business Insider.

Here's a look at the pitch deck Novoflow used to raise its $3.1 million seed. Some slides have been redacted so that the deck can be shared publicly.
