About
PostEra is a San Francisco-based AI-powered medicinal chemistry and drug discovery platform — backed with $26 million in total funding — providing pharmaceutical companies with the Proton AI platform for designing new small molecules and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) that accelerates the design-make-test cycle in drug discovery through machine learning models trained on medicinal chemistry synthesis rules and structure-activity relationships. PostEra has secured over $1 billion in total AI drug discovery partnerships including a $610 million collaboration expansion with Pfizer in January 2025 ($12 million upfront payment plus milestone payments and tiered royalties), and a partnership with Amgen and NIH. In the Pfizer collaboration, PostEra hit preclinical development milestones 40% faster than Pfizer anticipated, validating the AI acceleration thesis at pharmaceutical scale.
