Score Rationale
Vena Vitals shows YC pedigree (minor positive signal) but lacks named founders with defense expertise, government contracts, or evidence of defense-specific traction—it reads as a medical device company, not a defense play. The continuous BP monitoring sticker is technically interesting but faces no clear DoD priority signal, no named military customers, and no evidence the company is pivoting toward defense applications despite the categorization.
