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.
Deep Principle is an AI-for-Science company spun out of MIT that builds ReactiveAI, a closed-loop R&D platform fusing generative AI, quantum chemistry, and high-throughput experimentation to discover new materials, catalysts, and chemical processes far faster and cheaper than traditional trial-and-error labs. Founded by MIT PhDs Haojun Jia and Chenru Duan, the company targets materials, energy, and pharmaceutical R&D and has reported quantum-chemistry speedups on the order of 20,000x versus conventional DFT.
