Seeking an ambitious product management intern to help pioneer software in biology.
The convergence of laboratory automation, high-throughput assays, and machine learning is moving the medium of biological discovery to silicon. At LatchBio, we are building the ubiquitous cloud SaaS platform to store, visualize and analyze data from biological experiments.
What’s the Product?
We are 22 engineers in San Francisco solving the data bottleneck in biology:
- Data in biotech has increased 10,000x over the past 10 years
- AI in biopharma will 20x in 7 years. $200m to $4b, 54% CAGR.
- We build ubiquitous software, storage, pipelines, & machine learning for all of biology.
Our mission is to build and disseminate the data infrastructure platform of the biocomputing revolution. Today, this is a cloud platform for biotechs to upload, store, analyze, and visualize biological data.
Traction
Spun out of UC Berkeley in 2021, we spent 9 months on customer discovery, 12 months building the product, 9 months readying our go-to-market, and the last 3 months beginning to scale. We have achieved:
- 50+ new biotech companies onboarded in the past 12 months
- $28m Series A from Lux Capital, Coatue, and General Catalyst
Outcomes we deliver
- 50% cost savings on cloud (
1)
- 80% reduced time-to-insight for biotechs (
2)
- 300% increase in validated drug targets in a biotechs data pipeline (
3)
- 2x faster drug target screening (
4)
- 2-5 FTE hires saved
