| DeepSeq.AI was founded in 2019, with the overall mission of decoding the relationship between protein sequences and functions by combining wet-lab, software, and AI in a continuous development loop in order to design and screen novel protein drugs more efficiently. Up to date, DeepSeq.AI has developed a unique next-generation sequencing (NGS) basedAI platform to help pharma companies design novel protein drugs with high speed and accuracy.In 2021, DeepSeq.AI started to work with one of the top-10 global biopharma on feasibility studies to accelerate their drug discovery efforts. Those collaborations were successful, and we presented one of our successful projects at the Protein Engineering Summit Boston (PEGS) in May 2023, along with a number of other top biopharma and technology companies (e.g., Pfizer, Amgen, IBM). In Nov 2023, DeepSeq.AI was funded by UC Berkeley SkyDeck Fund and Merck Digital Sciences Studio (MDSS). | Venture - Series Unknown / Jan 07, 2026 | ||

| Lime Therapeutics aims to eliminate a variety of cancers by pursuing a novel approach targeting lipid metabolism. Cancers need lipids (often at high levels) in order to survive; thus finding drugs that can deprive cancers of lipids represents an attractive therapeutic strategy. However, technological barriers have prevented high-throughput drugdiscovery in this area. | Seed / Apr 08, 2024 | ||
| Eigen Therapeutics is a biotechnology company on a mission to make therapies that make cancer easier to find and eliminate. Eigen is focused on the development of “priming” therapies, therapies that help targeted therapies reach their full potential by addressing cancer heterogeneity, making cancer cells more vulnerable and/or making healthycells more resilient to treatment. Eigen is building a high-throughput discovery platform to explore the space of priming therapies, leveraging proprietary machine learning algorithms to discover novel associations, new classes of drugs, and new potential therapies that change a cell's state to make it more vulnerable to a targeted therapy. The Eigen platform represents the intersection of biology and engineering, and includes robotic systems, laboratory operations software, and machine learning analysis pipelines—all developed in-house—with the ultimate goal of saving more lives. | Seed / Mar 11, 2024 | ||
