# Watershed Bio

> Watershed Bio (legally Watershed Informatics) is a Cambridge, Massachusetts startup building a unified, cloud-based platform for biological data analysis. Its product, Omics Bench, lets biologists and bioinformaticians securely store, harmonize, and analyze multi-omic data - genomics, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, microbial sequencing and protein folding - using customizable and AI-assisted workflows backed by elastic supercomputing. The pitch: go from sample to therapeutic insight in a single day instead of weeks, closing the gap between high-code and no-code bioinformatics for drug-discovery teams.

- **Founded:** 2019
- **Headquarters:** Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
- **Founders:** Jonathan Wang (Co-Founder & CEO), Mark Kalinich (Co-Founder & CSO)
- **Team size:** Small - reported as roughly 3 in the supplied record; company materials describe a close-knit interdisciplinary team across leadership, product, engineering, operations and marketing.
- **Products:** Omics Bench, Multi-omics workflows, Collaboration & provenance
- **Notable:** Closed a $14.5M Series A in March 2023 led by Canvas Ventures., Raised roughly $18.5M in total funding since founding., Built Omics Bench to span genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, microbial sequencing and protein folding in one platform.

## Products & services

- **Omics Bench** — A cloud-based platform that unifies multi-omics tools into a single ecosystem. Labs can securely access, manage, and harmonize complex datasets; run and track analyses on every data type using customizable workflows including ready-to-use AI tools; and tap elastic supercomputing infrastructure to finish large-scale analyses in minutes instead of weeks.
- **Multi-omics workflows** — Prebuilt and customizable workflows with associated visualizations for whole-genome sequencing, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, microbial sequencing, and protein folding.
- **Collaboration & provenance** — Shared workspaces, data provenance tracking, and a secure data environment so biologists and bioinformaticians can collaborate across an organization on the same datasets and analyses.

## Achievements

- Closed a $14.5M Series A in March 2023 led by Canvas Ventures.
- Raised roughly $18.5M in total funding since founding.
- Built Omics Bench to span genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, microbial sequencing and protein folding in one platform.
- Positioned to fill the gap between 'high-code' and 'no-code' multiomics analysis.

## Latest updates

- **2023-03** — Announced $14.5M Series A led by Canvas Ventures with Bessemer Venture Partners and Accomplice Ventures participating; Paul Hsiao joined the board.
