About

It is building the Large Life Model, an AI system purpose-built to decode the regulatory and evolutionary logic of biology and forecast where living systems are heading — evolution, disease risk, and system vulnerabilities — before it happens. The company operates in stealth and describes the model as enabling therapeutic development, trait optimization, and programmable biology. It has raised roughly $40.5M to date, including a $10.5M round closed in March 2026.

Pairs Ben Lamm's operating experience with George Church's genetics and synthetic biology work to build a predictive rather than descriptive model of biology, trained across multi-species genomic and transcriptomic data to project evolutionary trajectories ahead of time.
