Description:

GEn1E Lifesciences is a Clinical-stage, multi-target company with a unique AI platform. They develop novel, next-generation, immunomodulatory therapies for rare & inflammatory diseases with no effective treatments. GEn1E is supercharging the drug development cycle by applying AI to multiple-mechanism-of-action protein targets and their natural platform capabilities—creating novel therapeutics at an unprecedented pace. Their AI platform has enabled them to develop a purpose-built therapy for ARDS to reduce its $20 billion cost on society (just in the USA). GEn1E has built a rich pipeline of 21+ novel and selective immunomodulators and has plans to accelerate 2 additional devastating diseases (beyond their lead indication) to IND in the next 12 months. Their AI platform enables tremendous pace and capital efficiency as demonstrated by their progress in ~2 years with seed capital—a stark contrast to the typical spend of $100M+ and 7+ years exhibited in the pharmaceuticals / biotech industry. With ~90% of rare diseases having no therapeutic treatment at all, GEn1E is taking a giant swing that will hopefully bring life-saving therapies to the lives of patients in need. GEn1E’s team has decades of experience in drug development and machine learning, and they graduated from YCombinator and Stanford-StartX in late 2019. GEn1E is based in Palo Alto, CA.
