Strateos is a pioneer in the development of remote access laboratories and lab control software for life science discovery. Our mission is to create new knowledge driven by data, computation, automation, and high-throughput robotics with the goal of fundamentally advancing the life sciences. The Strateos Automation-as-a-Service Platform helps scientists more efficiently and reproducibly design, run, and analyze experiments to achieve new and faster scientific discoveries.

Cofactor Genomics’s mission is to create diagnostics that have the ability to predict the patients that can benefit from immunotherapies. Using more insightful multidimensional biomarkers created with RNA and machine learning, Cofactor’s diagnostics offer greater predictive power than any current test. Instead of searching for isolated, single-analyte biomarkers or DNA mutations, Cofactor’s products create multidimensional biomarkers that better capture the complex immune response at the site of a tumor. Cofactor Genomics empowers clinicians to be better informed while making treatment decisions to improve patient outcomes.

Founded in 2012, Transcriptic has developed the first robotic cloud lab platform for on-demand life science research. It’s powered by the Transcriptic Common Lab Environment (TCLE) a scalable, digital infrastructure that integrates laboratory processes, instruments and IoT technologies into a single user interface. Researchers can carry out scalable, reproducible and rapid experimentation from anywhere in the world. Top ten pharmaceutical companies, as well as emerging biotech companies, are using the platform to gain more reproducibility and flexibility in the design and control of their experiments. By leveraging cloud-based technologies, users can access the power of a fully automated laboratory – whether in their own labs through an on-premise deployment of TCLE or through Transcriptic’s Bioassays services – all through a simple web-based interface. Transcriptic is transforming drug discovery and synthetic biology research by helping scientists focus on accelerating discoveries instead of labor-intensive bench work.

Caption Health has developed the AI platform that enables heart ultrasound access for early disease detection—when there is the highest potential for impact. Our breakthrough Caption AI technology is the first FDA cleared AI-guided medical imaging acquisition software, enabling more healthcare professionals to capture diagnostic-quality ultrasound images in more care settings. Caption AI powers Caption Care, a turnkey echo program that offers health plans and value-based care organizations convenient and cost-effective echocardiograms for their members. Caption Health was acquired by GE HealthCare in 2023 and has been recognized as one of TIME’s “100 Best Inventions” and Fast Company’s “Next Big Things in Tech”.
