Salt AI
Salt AI is a Los Angeles contextual-AI company building a visual platform that lets regulated enterprises - especially life sciences and healthcare teams - orchestrate many AI models into governed, auditable workflows that run inside their own infrastructure. Founded in 2023 by former Myspace CTO Aber Whitcomb and Jim Benedetto, Salt lets biochemists and clinicians drag, drop, and chain models like AlphaFold2 (which Salt runs 22x faster), ProteinMPNN, and Chroma without writing code, turning months of pipeline engineering into weeks while keeping every prompt, weight, and response logged for compliance.

Founded in 2023 by Stanford computer scientist Deniz Kavi and Sherry Liu, the company serves over 10,000 scientists, including 8 of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies, and raised a $13.6M Series A in February 2026.
