Team

The people building Meridian, and why we care.

We built Meridian around a simple conviction: your genome is permanent, deeply personal, and should be useful without becoming someone else's asset.

Why this exists

Genomic data needs builders who treat privacy as architecture.

We have sequenced ourselves, worked with deeply technical systems, and felt how intimate this data is. Meridian is our attempt to make whole-genome sequencing feel premium, understandable, and private by default.

That means a clear product, careful language, trusted lab partners, and a system designed around user ownership from the beginning.

Two operators, one standard for trust.
