Benchling

Benchling builds an AI platform for biotech research and development. Scientists use it to design experiments, capture structured scientific data, organise that data, collaborate, and automate workflows, with AI agents and models embedded at each step of the research process. The company describes its product as a single unified platform for R&D informatics, spanning both data management and applied artificial intelligence.

The platform is used by more than 200,000 scientists worldwide, from academic laboratories to large industrial R&D organisations. More than half of the world's top 50 biopharma companies rely on Benchling, with Sanofi and Moderna among its named customers. Its users work across biopharma, agriculture, materials, CRISPR gene engineering, cell therapies and cultivated food.

The company was founded by former academic researchers who saw that biology was advancing faster than the software supporting it. Nearly half of the team comes from R&D backgrounds. Its stated mission is to turn experiments into results and help biology transform the world. Benchling's customers span global academic labs and industry.
