Lila Sciences is a venture capital-backed scientific AI company founded in 2023 and headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with planned expansion to San Francisco and London. Incubated within Flagship Pioneering, the company is building the world's first scientific superintelligence platform through a proprietary autonomous system called the AI... Science Factory (AISF). The platform integrates generative AI with fully autonomous lab infrastructure to design, conduct, observe, and iterate on scientific experiments across life sciences, chemistry, and materials science at a scale and speed beyond human capacity alone. Lila's platform has demonstrated early results including the discovery of novel antibodies, genetic medicine constructs, green hydrogen catalysts, and advanced carbon capture materials. The company has raised $550 million in total funding, including a $350 million Series A backed by Braidwell, Collective Global, NVentures, and Khosla Ventures, among others. Lila's leadership team includes CEO Geoffrey von Maltzahn and Chief Scientist George Church, a pioneer in CRISPR research.Read More
