Garden

We’ve been in the lab, quite literally. Super excited to announce a technical breakthrough we had around searching across small molecules and the IP landscape for drugs. Introducing Garden BLOOM. A new algorithmic approach to search through 30 million small molecules across 1.4 billion patent x small molecule combinations. BLOOM fundamentally turns a Tanimoto index on its head by creating a graph-based search that looks for chemical scaffolds. In a couple of minutes, you get a conclusive FTO across the entire small molecule IP landscape based on a Markush you upload. No more guessing on if a small molecule is in the literature or not. We built this with both large pharma and frontier drug discovery model companies in mind. In the world of AI-generated small molecules, we need commercial guardrails to create a reward function around patentability and commercial viability in mind. With the speed of small molecule advancements with AI, it is vital that the patentability advances just as fast. This is the first step towards it. Super proud of @kavinayan_s on our team for spending months on coming up with this approach. High quality research is paramount to the products we build, and algorithmic breakthroughs like BLOOM help us support our customers that are on the frontier. Onwards!

For the cracked college kids that want to work at a very high growth startup, this is for you 🤜🤛

nine days into the month and we’ve closed more paying customers already than last month. im looking to hire 3 more engineers to help with this demand. we are 9/9/6 in person in our sun filled office in chelsea. if you vibe with working hard on cool multimodal ML problems and products with billion dollar consequences, DM me. (recruiters plz do not reach out)

Come hang at @Garden_Intel HQ in NYC next Monday evening with me and @LM_Braswell! Will have a fun chat about the hard things of building in AI today + drinks/snacks :) lu.ma/ue253fuv

Excited to announce Garden's $6.8m seed raise and partner with @NatSandman at Spark Capital, @murr at Craft Ventures, and @jamiequint at Uncommon Capital, along with an amazing set of angel investors. Coverage by Axios: lnkd.in/gxqyccQv

Classic David vs. Goliath patent infringement story. Startups need to start thinking about their patent estates earlier and earlier in their lifecycle. There is a sophisticated ecosystem of folks supporting patent disputes from licensing to financing litigation needs for companies with well thought out patent portfolios. @0xGarden has helped hundreds of patent prosecutors and litigators already. If you're a founder dealing with patents or trade secrets, DM me and I will whitelist you to the best patent planning software on the planet.
