^{PRESENTED BY STRATIFIND}

Cancer remains one of the largest and most important healthcare markets in the world, yet selecting the right treatment for the right patient remains one of oncology’s greatest challenges. Physicians routinely choose among chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapies, radiation, and combination approaches, often with limited information about which treatment is most likely to benefit a particular patient.

Stratifind is developing RainDanceEQ™, a precision oncology platform designed to help physicians make more informed treatment decisions through a more comprehensive understanding of each patient’s cancer. By integrating multiple layers of tumor information and advanced analytics into a single actionable report, the company aims to provide insights that go beyond traditional testing approaches.

Founded by healthcare investment banker Igor Sokolovsky and physician-scientist Dr. Partha Ray, Stratifind is pursuing an opportunity at the intersection of molecular diagnostics, precision medicine, and oncology decision support. Successful oncology diagnostics companies have created substantial value for patients, providers, and investors alike, and Stratifind seeks to establish a differentiated position within this growing sector.

The company is currently conducting a financing round through Netcapital and welcomes conversations with investors, family offices, healthcare professionals, and strategic partners interested in the future of cancer diagnostics and precision oncology.
