The rules of biological compatibility, learned once.

Genome engineering still runs on trial and error. Large Pangenome Models predict which genetic combinations work before anyone touches a bench — and the rules they learn compound with every project.

We are not improving the existing process. We are removing the part of it that fails.

Engineering a living system today means guessing which genes will tolerate each other, then spending years and millions of pounds finding out. Roughly seven in ten complex modifications fail.

Four billion years of evolution has already run that experiment, across millions of genomes. Our Large Pangenome Models read that record and turn it into predictions: which combinations hold, which collapse, and why. Backed by a BBSRC Pioneers grant and a PNAS paper showing pangenome evolution is predictable.

Genome engineering today

  • 70% of complex genetic modifications fail
  • 3–5 yrs to develop a new biological product
  • $100M+ to bring an engineered organism to market

Trial and error, one reference genome at a time.

With Large Pangenome Models

  • Predict which gene combinations hold together, before the bench
  • Millions of genomes read as one model, not one reference
  • Compatibility rules learned from four billion years of natural experiments

The failures get cheap, because they happen in silico.

Why the position defends itself

01

First mover at pangenome scale

Others model single genomes or single proteins. We model the entire genetic repertoire of a species.

02

A dataset that is ours

Proprietary pangenomic data spanning multiple kingdoms of life, assembled over two decades of research.

03

Network effects

Every project sharpens the compatibility rules, which makes the next project faster and cheaper.

04

Defensible IP

A portfolio covering the algorithms and the processes, not just the outputs.

How it makes money

two revenue lines

Primary

Proprietary products

High-value engineered organisms developed in-house, with full ownership of the IP. Monetised by licensing, partnership or direct commercialisation.

Secondary

Platform & services

Annual platform subscriptions from £50k to £500k, and bespoke design projects from £10k to £100k, at 40–70% gross margin.

Where a Series A goes

Technology

Extend the models to eukaryotic systems and automate the design–test–learn cycle.

Infrastructure

BSL-2/3 laboratory capacity, high-throughput synthesis, and compute.

Team

Senior AI and synthetic biology researchers, plus commercial leadership.

Operations

Market development, regulatory compliance, IP protection.

Next 12–18 months
