Ligo Biosciences

We are building the next generation of deep-learning models for enzyme design to slash the cost of chemical manufacturing. The $6 trillion chemical industry is flawed: It produces 20% of industrial greenhouse gases, and is responsible for 15% of global energy usage. Enzymes offer a far more sustainable alternative to chemical synthesis and have already revolutionised how a select few chemicals are produced. The problem is each enzyme takes years of trial and error to develop. Our enzyme models l

Osium AI

match 67

Our AI-powered software enables materials R&D engineers to design new materials much faster. To date, manufacturing companies rely on trial-and-error and manual approaches to develop new materials. This is a tedious and time-consuming process. Yet, carbon neutrality requirements urge manufacturers to adopt greener and lighter materials to decarbonize the industry.

Opusense AI

match 59

Opusense AI automates field report writing for construction field inspectors. Instead of typing up notes at the end of the day, inspectors can now walk a site, speak observations aloud, snap photos, and let our AI assistant generate a detailed, organized report on-site and in real time. Combined, the founding team has over 15 years in the construction industry. Writing up these field reports used to take up at least 20% of the week. With Opusense, we cut that time by 5x. Our team combines deep c
