About 83 Sciences
Summary
83 Sciences turns unpublished experimental data, the majority of which labs currently discard, into new materials, papers, and patents. Its platform ingests raw lab outputs, from voice notes to instrument readings, structures them into a queryable record, and uses AI to identify discoveries and propose optimized process conditions. The company serves both university labs seeking publications and commercialization, and industrial partners looking to bring new materials to market faster and at lower cost.
Business model
Discovery contracts for industry partners and university partnership arrangements for academia.
Go-to-market
University labs and industrial partners engage through a partnership or discovery contract model, with academia onboarded via the Dalton platform and industry scoping projects directly with the 83 Sciences team.
