Axial: https://linktr.ee/axialxyz
Axial partners with great founders and inventors. We invest in early-stage life sciences companies such as Appia Bio, Seranova Bio, Delix Therapeutics, Simcha Therapeutics, among others often when they are no more than an idea. We are fanatical about helping the rare inventor who is compelled to build their own enduring business. If you or someone you know has a great idea or company in life sciences, Axial would be excited to get to know you and possibly invest in your vision and company . We are excited to be in business with you - email us at info@axialvc.com
Synthace builds automation products for the lab. Founded in 2011 by Markus Gershater and Sean Ward, the company traces its origin as a synbio company pivoting in 2017 to SaaS after building their own software platform to automate/scale their own microbial design.
Antha is Synthace’s OS for “computer-aided biology.” It automates communication to lab machines & structures the experimental data from them. Directly connecting to machine drivers & aggregating/visualizing the data output, putting it in an ELN https://www.synthace.com/resources
Think of it as accounting software for biology. That reduces manual labor required in the lab & increases traceability/reproducibility. Building 2 moats around Antha: repo of protocols & driver connections. Riding a broader wave to build more accurate data models of biology.
The car industry saw massive gains in efficiency and scale with software mainly developed by Autodesk. Something similar is happening in biology. Synthace is hiring here: https://www.synthace.com/about/careers
