Drug Hunter
Drug Hunter is a Boston-based knowledge platform for the scientists who turn molecules into medicines. Founded in 2018 by former Genentech chemist Dennis X. Hu, it distills scientific literature, patents, and early disclosures into searchable, expert-curated insights - molecule search, patent search, courses, flash talks, and a mobile app. More than 200 R&D organizations, including Eli Lilly, Biogen, Merck KGaA, Isomorphic Labs, and the NIH, rely on it. In September 2025 the company raised a seed round led by Teamworthy Ventures.
Consensus
Consensus is an AI-powered academic search engine that lets anyone ask a research question in plain language and get answers drawn directly from peer-reviewed science. Instead of returning a list of blue links, it reads across more than 200 million papers, summarizes findings, and shows - via its signature Consensus Meter - how much the published literature agrees. Founded in 2021 by Eric Olson and Christian Salem, the company is building what it calls an AI operating system for researchers, used by millions of students, scientists, clinicians and curious people.
