We’re excited to announce that we’re co-leading a $28M Seed round in Boltz PBC. Boltz comes out of research at MIT from Gabriele Corso, Jeremy Wohlwend, and Saro Passaro. They’ve built frontier open-source AI models for biomolecular research that saw explosive growth in

We are launching the Boltz Public Benefit Company! 🤗 We want to make sure that models like BoltzGen stay open source and create robust products and infrastructure around them that are easy to use and can bring the tools to every scientist, beyond computational users!

Awesome ! Congrats Gabriele Corso !🎉

a16z Boltz this stuff always blows my mind, seeing ai get that deep into bio is wild. feels like a real step forward for labs outside big pharma too.

👏 Huge congrats to the Boltz team! Can't wait to see what they build next. Want an inside look at how they built BoltzGen? Check out our interview with model co-creator Hannes Stark: benchling.com/blog/behind-th…

We co-led the $28M seed round for Boltz because we believe open models, usable software, and partnership (not competition) with academia and pharma will make AI a key piece of drug discovery and development. Hundreds of thousands of scientists use Boltz across pharma,

It's a big day for the Boltz ecosystem 🧬 I first met Gabriele Corso several years ago when we were both researchers. He'd already made key academic contributions to the field of molecular ML, but even back then he was envisioning ways to scale the impact of these tools. Together

Announcing our newest a16z Bio + Health fund: $700M to back the best founders working to make better medicines and to make the practice of medicine better. To cure disease, to care for our sick, to fix what’s broken is deeply ingrained; it is medicine’s highest aim. “At a16z, we
