Opentrons

Today, biologists spend too much time pipetting by hand. We think biologists should have robots to do pipetting for them. People doing science should be free of tedious benchwork and repetitive stress injuries. They should be able to spend their time designing experiments and analyzing data. That's why we started Opentrons. We make robots for biologists. Our mission is to provide the scientific community with a common platform to easily share protocols and reproduce each other's results.

Medisas

match 49

Healthcare is broken and underserved by technology. Hospital software is too complicated, too convoluted, and too disconnected. Doctors and nurses spend more time clicking through prompts than checking in on patients, and the quality of care suffers as a result. We're going to change that, and have been able to do so for the care teams of half a million patients and counting.
