We are a new type of research and development company headquartered in San Francisco. We hire and bring together exceptional researchers across disciplines, who want to pursue important translational science for humanity that requires a new institutional model. 

Inspired by some of history's most unique and productive research environments - like Bell Labs, the Institute for Advanced Study, or Xerox PARC - we bring scientists together in-house, providing the funding, infrastructure and operational support to ensure that their breakthroughs are deployed for real-world impact.

We first and foremost believe in people, especially those with unrealized potential who want to achieve their life’s work with us. We care about their story and motivations to change the world in a meaningful way through their effort and research.

We are a lean team of scientists, engineers, and operators who believe that much better science can be done for humanity.

Our team, investors, and business model are all aligned to build a new system for science that benefits people and society.
