Cradle Bio

EmergingBiotechnology

AI Protein Engineering

Cradle provides an AI platform for protein engineering that accelerates the design of improved enzymes, antibodies, and other biologics for industrial and therapeutic use.

About

Cradle Bio is an AI protein engineering company founded in 2021 in Amsterdam, having raised $73M to build an AI-powered protein design platform. The platform combines generative AI with wet-lab experimentation to accelerate the iterative process of engineering proteins with improved stability, activity, and manufacturability. Cradle's technology enables researchers to design thousands of protein variants computationally and prioritize those most likely to succeed in laboratory validation, compressing protein engineering timelines from years to months. The company serves both industrial biotechnology customers engineering enzymes for biomanufacturing and pharmaceutical companies developing next-generation antibody therapeutics. Cradle partners with contract research organizations and biopharmaceutical companies to integrate AI-assisted protein design into existing discovery workflows. The company has been recognized as a leader in the European deep tech ecosystem and positions protein engineering AI as enabling a new era of designed biologics for medicine and sustainable manufacturing.

Insitro

EmergingBiotechnology

ML Drug Discovery

Insitro integrates machine learning with high-throughput biology to discover and develop drugs faster by building predictive models of disease.

About

Insitro is a drug discovery company founded in 2018 by Daphne Koller, a pioneer in machine learning and computational biology, having raised over $400M to build an integrated ML and biology platform. The company generates large-scale biological datasets using automated laboratory systems and human induced pluripotent stem cell models of disease, then trains machine learning models on this data to predict drug targets, patient stratification, and clinical outcomes. Unlike companies that apply ML to existing datasets, Insitro builds proprietary biological datasets specifically designed to train predictive models for drug discovery. The platform is being applied to neurological diseases, metabolic disorders, and oncology with the goal of identifying drug candidates more likely to succeed in clinical trials. Insitro has established partnerships with major pharmaceutical companies including Gilead Sciences and Bristol Myers Squibb to co-develop drugs using the platform. The company represents a model for how ML can be deeply integrated into pharmaceutical R&D rather than applied as a surface-level analytical layer.
