NOTES

We teach
computers science.

OUR WHY
We are building chemistry-specific intelligence. Chemistry touches nearly every aspect of our lives and the problem we're trying to solve has significant scope and magnitude. It will directly affect people's lives for the better if we're successful. We are doing something that has never been done before - operating at a unique intersection of the physical and digital world.

who we are
We are a fast growing VC-backed start-up bringing AI into the $5T chemical industry. We’re a unique team of engineers and scientists who are all motivated by a common mission to change how chemists work everyday. Despite being an early-stage startup, we have impressive traction and early signs of product market fit. We’re moving fast and have recently secured funding from investors, operators and angels that have backed the likes of Canva, Atlassian, Figma, Zoox and Robinhood.
