## Summary

Company-issued press release announcing that Intactis Bio Corp raised $250K from Nucleus Fund and demonstrated iPSC-derived neurons performing task-distinct activity patterns for arithmetic and language inputs on their automated biocomputation platform.

## Useful Claims

- Intactis Bio Corp raised $250K from Nucleus Fund (pre-seed).
- The company demonstrated lab-grown neurons producing task-distinct activity patterns for arithmetic and language inputs — the "Hello, World" milestone.
- The platform automates biochip workflows allowing customers to run AI/ML workloads against living-neuron biochips with silicon baselines.
- Intactis is a resident at Altitude Lab in Salt Lake City and spun out of University of Utah research.

## Reliability Notes

Primary source for the funding amount and lab demonstration claim, but company-issued — all technical performance claims are self-reported and have not been independently peer-reviewed. The funding figure ($250K from Nucleus Fund) is corroborated by the Nucleus Fund website.
