About the Company
- We build the benchmarks that test whether frontier AI can actually do computational biology.
- Pharma, biotech, and solution providers rely on benchmarks.bio to evaluate and improve their AI systems.
- We released the first rigorous benchmark suites for biology agents.
- Our research shows that harness design moves outcomes as much as swapping the base model itself.
- This insight is reshaping how frontier labs think about building with AI.
- We've grown revenue 6x in the past 12 months.
- We have a repeatable sales process and deep partnerships with 10X Genomics, Vizgen, Takara Bio, and AtlasXOmics.
- We have more demand than we can meet.
- We're scaling rapidly across engineering.
- We're building benchmarks across omics, therapeutics, and surveillance.
- We need engineers to build the infrastructure that powers our benchmarking pipeline - data ingestion, eval design, grading systems, and infrastructure.
- Work with scientists and frontier models.
- Ship fast.
- Our charter and continued mission is to accelerate biological science so that humanity can benefit from better bioengineering, whether that be medical technology, farming, or environmental conservation.
