Synthetic DNA manufacturing platform on silicon chips; $376M FY2025 revenue (+20% YoY). Supplies synthetic genes to 3,000+ customers across biotech, pharma, and AgBio.
Twist Bioscience was founded in 2013 in San Francisco by Emily Leproust, Bill Banyai, and Bill Peck, pioneering a silicon-based DNA synthesis platform that writes synthetic DNA at a fraction of the cost and error rate of conventional methods. By printing DNA on silicon wafers using a semiconductor-like process, Twist dramatically reduced the cost of synthetic genes from hundreds to single-digit dollars per gene, democratizing access to DNA writing for the life sciences.\n\nTwist serves over 3,000 customers across biopharmaceuticals, academic research, agriculture, and industrial biotechnology, offering synthetic genes, variant libraries, DNA data storage oligos, and antibody libraries for drug discovery. The company reported $376.6 million in FY2025 revenue, up 20% from $313 million in FY2024, driven by strong growth in its biopharma and drug discovery segments. Twist also operates a growing antibody drug discovery business, providing synthetic antibody libraries that power next-generation therapeutic discovery programs.\n\nTwist has a supply agreement with Ginkgo Bioworks for synthetic DNA to fuel Ginkgo's cell engineering platform, revised in 2025. The company is executing toward profitability, with improving gross margins as manufacturing scale increases. Its silicon-based DNA synthesis platform positions it as critical infrastructure for the emerging bioeconomy, synthetic biology, and DNA data storage industries.
CrowdStrike (CRWD) reported $3.95B ARR in FY2025 (ended Jan). Revenue $3.74B, up 29% YoY. Market cap ~$85B. 8,600+ employees. Austin, TX. AI-native cybersecurity platform. Charlotte AI for threat detection.
CrowdStrike is an AI-native cybersecurity company founded in 2011 by George Kurtz, Dmitri Alperovitch, and Gregg Marston and headquartered in Austin, Texas, that built the endpoint detection and response (EDR) category and has since expanded into the broadest cloud-native cybersecurity platform in the industry. The company was founded on the insight that traditional antivirus software — signature-based, retrospective, and endpoint-isolated — could not keep pace with sophisticated adversaries operating at machine speed. CrowdStrike's founding architecture, the Falcon platform, was designed cloud-native from day one: a single lightweight agent on the endpoint feeding a cloud-based AI that learns from trillions of security events across every customer simultaneously. The company trades on Nasdaq under the ticker CRWD.\n\nThe CrowdStrike Falcon platform consolidates more than 28 security modules across endpoint security, identity threat protection, cloud security, next-gen SIEM and log management, threat intelligence, and managed detection and response — all delivered through a single agent and unified console. The AI at the platform's core, Charlotte AI, provides conversational security operations, automated investigation, and AI-generated threat summaries that reduce analyst workload. CrowdStrike's threat intelligence team, Adversary Intelligence, tracks and names nation-state and criminal threat actors globally, giving customers predictive insight into campaigns before they hit their environments.\n\nCrowdStrike reported $3.95 billion in annual recurring revenue (ARR) for FY2025 and total revenue of $3.74 billion, up 29% year over year, with a market capitalization of approximately $85 billion. The company has 8,600+ employees and counts a substantial share of the Fortune 500 and global governments as customers. Despite the July 2024 sensor update incident that caused a significant IT outage affecting millions of Windows systems globally, CrowdStrike's customer retention remained strong — a testament to the platform's depth of integration and the switching costs built into its consolidated architecture.
