We are an early-stage AI lab focused on building the next generation of frontier multimodal AI models. Founded by former Google Brain & DeepMind researchers, including Andrew Dai, who was previously a leader on Gemini. Our team consists of world-class scientists and engineers. We recently raised $55M in funding from Striker Ventures, Menlo Ventures, and Altimeter with participation from 49 Palms and others with prominent AI researchers including Jeff Dean. We are tackling some of the hardest problems in artificial intelligence, and we are growing fast.

Spun out from FutureHouse in 2025, Edison Scientific accelerates discovery and innovation across the sciences. Our platform empowers researchers to move from question to breakthrough faster than ever, automating literature synthesis, data analysis, and molecular design. At its core is Kosmos, our AI scientist, capable of running hundreds of research tasks in parallel. It transforms raw datasets into comprehensive, validated reports—compressing months of work into a single run. With Edison Scientific, scientists remain in control, using AI to amplify their expertise and accelerate discovery at unprecedented speed.
