Synthetic Sciences
Synthetic Sciences is a Y Combinator (W26) startup building AI co-scientists that run the full research loop - literature review, hypothesis generation, experiment design, code execution on GPUs, analysis, and publication-ready drafts. Founded in 2025 by Aayam Bansal and Ishaan Gangwani, the company pairs a research product (synsci, plus the open-source OpenScience workbench and the Atlas compute layer) with a thesis that proprietary research-process data is the path to scientific foundation models with genuine research 'taste'. Its biology mode reached 92% on the BixBench Verified benchmark.
