The bio-revolution was promised in the 90s. Cell therapies that reprogram your immune system to hunt cancer. Gene therapies that make the blind see. The science exists. Thirty years later, we are still waiting.
The bottleneck is not discovery. It is the brutal, decade-long journey from breakthrough to patient—a betrayal of human progress, measured in breakthroughs lost forever, in patients who run out of time.
Here is where the old model breaks: a cell therapy manufactured for a single patient, in a batch size of one.
The entire pharmaceutical apparatus—the regulatory frameworks, the manufacturing systems, the quality processes—was built for mass production. Make one drug. Validate one process. Manufacture a billion identical doses.
In modern biology, every patient is a new product. Every batch is a clinical trial. The complexity doesn't scale linearly—it explodes. And the tools we have were built for a world that no longer exists.
I started this company building hardware for real-time monitoring of cell cultures. We thought more data would solve the problem.
We were wrong. Data without context is noise. Knowing what happened in the bioreactor didn't matter if we couldn't track who operated it, what media was used, which cell line was selected, or what happened upstream six weeks ago that might explain why this batch is failing now. The answer didn't exist in any single system. It had to be manually assembled, piece by piece, from paper records and disconnected databases, and the result was not truth—but a fragile approximation arrived at through exhaustion.
The soul-crushing paperwork. The endless spreadsheets. The patchwork of systems that don't talk to each other. The validation documents that take longer to write than the software they describe. This is friction mistaken for rigor.
A simple question—what batch was this? who approved it?—takes hours to answer. Every deviation triggers a cascade of manual documentation. Every change requires months of re-validation. This friction doesn't make products safer. It makes them impossible.
I spent years building flexible data systems to fix this gap, seeing rapid adoption in research. But the moment we hit the "GxP Wall"—manufacturing, validation, patient delivery—everything ground to a halt. The same flexibility that made the system powerful in research made it terrifying for quality teams. How do you validate something that changes every week? How do you audit a system where users can modify their own workflows?
Handing off from R&D to Manufacturing meant rewriting everything from scratch. Workflows changed so fast that nobody invested in digital systems—they knew they'd be obsolete in months. So they stuck to paper. Paper doesn't break. Paper doesn't need validation. Paper is the devil you know.
The tragedy is that this is rational behavior. Given the tools available, paper is often the right choice. The tools are the problem.
We need a new foundation: a unified execution platform that serves as a single system-of-record across the entire lifecycle—from discovery through to the patient. It must be GxP-native, and it must be open by design—not as a technical detail, but as a moral imperative.
A platform built on these principles creates a new operating model where the process can finally be written, reviewed, and executed like code. Where every change is versioned. Where every action is traced. Where the audit trail writes itself. This turns every scientist into a builder, with the power to codify and automate their work.
Version control and centralized reviews provide guardrails, not gates. This is how bottom-up innovation is achieved without sacrificing top-down trust. Flexibility for builders. Trust for regulators. Safety for patients.
Legacy software demands a year-long project with an unpredictable outcome. That's not an upgrade; it's a gamble. The new model is different. You start by digitizing a single process and see the results in days. Not years.
How are years compressed into days? By stopping the guesswork and starting to know. By creating a perfect digital twin of each unit operation—not just the process, but the science: the equipment, the materials, the biology itself. Models can be trained on this twin to simulate every outcome, turning months of physical trial and error into an afternoon of computation.
The differentiator isn't AI generation—everyone has that now. The differentiator is AI validation. We've automated the burden of compliance so you can iterate on your process at speed. Change a workflow on Monday, run it in production on Tuesday.
This is how we compress decades into days. Not by cutting corners, but by eliminating the friction that was never adding value in the first place. By building the substrate that the bio-revolution has been waiting for.
This is how we will build the future—in days, not decades.
