Cosa fa b12 Labs

b12 is an AI copilot that plans how to create and test new molecules for chemists. We're like a GPS for chemistry, helping pharma companies plan the recipes for new drugs, accelerating early-stage drug discovery from years to months. Andres built the first AI agent that can autonomously think and make molecules in a robotic lab, published in Nature Machine Intelligence (750+ citations), and won the best paper award at the NeurIPS AI for Science conference. Zlatko is a 3x National Chemistry Olympiad champion, competed at IChO level, and medicinal chemist who has worked at Roche and leading lab robotics companies. He has an extensive network of hundreds of chemists across Europe. We are publishing a groundbreaking paper in Nature demonstrating our AI's ability to optimally plan chemical recipes. We run paid pilots with big pharma companies showing that our platform planned a set of experiments that achieved full conversion in a single attempt, eliminating the usual 8-12 iteration cycle.

Chemical Copilot for Pharma and Biotech

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an AI copilot that plans how to create and test new molecules for chemists. Our platform designs chemical recipes better and faster than traditional methods, cutting early-stage drug discovery from years to months. Pharma companies use it to plan experiments that our AI can optimize to achieve target molecules in far fewer tries.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We live here because it's a hub for both biotech and AI talent and close to pharma partners. Staying here after YC keeps us connected to resources and customers.
