We are advancing small molecule therapeutics for age-related diseases. Our platform enables precise, dynamic control of biological targets and pathways, generating high-fidelity datasets that, combined with advanced AI, unlock systematic exploration of previously inaccessible chemical space. At its core are our ultra-large, in-house aging datasets, which provide a rich foundation for target identification and therapeutic discovery.

Edison Scientific is building the AI platform for scientific research and development. Kosmos, our AI scientist, collaborates with teams across the full R&D lifecycle, leveraging proprietary data and organizational context to help navigate complex scientific decisions and accelerate timelines from discovery to FDA approval. We believe the full gains from AI in science will only be realized when AI systems are integrated across the entire research and development stack, continuously learning from the evolving scientific context inside an organization. With Edison Scientific, scientists and researchers remain at the center of scientific progress, using AI to amplify their expertise and accelerate discovery at unprecedented speed. Edison is a scientist-led company that was spun out of the nonprofit research lab FutureHouse in 2025, backed by $70M from Spark Capital, Triatomic Capital, Susa Ventures, Pillar Ventures, among other investors.

Portal is building the universal infrastructure for cell engineering across drug discovery and cell therapy. Our proprietary mechanical system enables efficient, scalable delivery of RNA, gene editors, probes, and other molecules into hard-to-transfect cells across many cell types and workflows. With more than 100 customer sites including the top 10 pharma, researchers use Portal to run high-throughput, physiologically relevant screens and de-risk targets earlier, while cell therapy developers leverage the platform to multi-engineer cells beyond the limits of viral or electroporation methods. Integrated with leading high-throughput robotics and with GMP manufacturing systems, Portal is powering both next-generation discovery and laying the groundwork for future point-of-care cell therapy manufacturing.
