Cosa fa Menten AI

Menten AI designs protein drugs and enzymes using quantum computing and machine learning. Their technology leapfrogs current computational methods making it possible to design previously intractable proteins. The team created the first protein design algorithm for current and near-term quantum computers and created the world’s first protein designed on a quantum computer. They are now working on 3 new proteins, including a peptide to prevent the spread of viruses like Covid-19. They have 2 paid pilot projects with multinational chemical companies and 4 LOI’s with pharma and biotech companies.

Design protein drugs and enzymes with quantum computing

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

We build software that designs peptides and protein therapeutics using quantum computing and machine learning. Our algorithms are the first to run on current and near-term quantum hardware, enabling the design of proteins that classical methods cannot handle. We're working on therapeutics like peptides that could block viruses such as Covid-19 and have early pilots and letters of intent with chemical and pharma companies.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to base the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the right mix of biotech and quantum computing talent, along with access to pharma and chemical companies that are our early users. Being here lets us stay close to partners and future hires.
