Would you take on a pure CS idea that has the potential for profitable technologies to be built around it?

Also is there a requirement that you have to have a PHD or would you also consider BS holders?

If it was a research oriented idea, maybe, though really we think we can be most helpful to people starting life science companies. If it's more software product oriented, I would encourage you to apply to Y Combinator -- it's a great program.

No hard degree requirements.

It is purely a research idea at this stage and would benefit from a program purpose built for research. If it wouldn't be a good fit because of your life science focus would you know of any similar programs for CS oriented ideas?
