O que Anthrogen faz

Proteins power everything from the cells in your body to creating materials you rely on every day - but until now, we’ve been forced to discover their functions by trial and error. Designing a new therapeutic can take decades and billions of dollars, and even our best industrial catalysts work at a snail’s pace compared to their theoretical optimums. Anthrogen is changing that. By training massive AI foundation models on protein sequences and structures, we’ve unlocked the ability to generate - on demand - completely novel molecular machines with atomic-level precision. Simply describe the function you need, and our platform imagines the peptide or protein that will deliver it. We're building models to speed up billions of years of evolution into the span of an afternoon's worth of compute. The result? New-to-nature therapies, ultra-efficient catalysts for sustainable manufacturing, and a whole new frontier of molecular innovation - designed as precisely as any cutting-edge aircraft or microchip.

Training next-gen protein foundation models

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

We're building AI foundation models trained on protein sequences and structures. Our product lets researchers or companies describe a molecular function, and the model generates a novel protein or peptide to fulfill it. This drastically shortens the time needed to design therapeutics or catalysts by simulating billions of years of evolution in hours.

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

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

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco gives us direct access to biotech and AI communities and talent crucial for scaling our platform. We're already embedded here and see no reason to relocate.
