# NobleAI

> NobleAI is a San Francisco software company that builds 'Science-Based AI' for chemical, materials and energy R&D. Its cloud VIP platform (Visualizations, Insights and Predictions) bakes physical laws and chemical properties into machine-learning models so they can make useful predictions from the sparse, messy datasets that industrial labs actually have - compressing R&D cycles from months to minutes. Founded in 2017 by physicist Matthew C. Levy, the company has raised roughly $40M from backers including Microsoft's M12, Chevron Technology Ventures, Sway Ventures and Dorilton, and counts chemical giants such as Solvay among its early partners.
