In the age of ever-improving AI capabilities, we humans are lagging behind.
We believe that humans are capable of more.
Nature gave us clues on making this dream real. Research has given us insight into thousands of powerful rare variants.
Program 1/4
We spend a third of our lives asleep. Yet, a small subset of humans thrive on four to six hours of sleep per night. They carry short sleeper variants, allowing them to remain healthy while being awake for longer. Previous research reports those short sleepers to have more energy, vigor, and disease resistance. While not definitive evidence, we see them as a proof-of-concept for our biggest frontier for improving human health.
Our first four programs are in sleep. Concretely, we are first working on therapeutics that restore cognitive performance under sleep deprivation, and then towards the end-goal of allowing patients to sleep 1-2 hours less. Our initial focus will be on rare, undertreated sleep diseases like narcolepsy, hypersomnia, while gradually expanding a broader population such as via shift-work sleep disorders.
The world's most successful drug is a peptide: In 2025, Tirzepatide made $36B.
What's the model that will design the next Tirzepatide?
We’re building a vertically integrated, AI-enabled, deeptech platform to rapidly explore and unlock new human capabilities.Frontier models won’t be bottlenecked by intelligence. They’ll be bottleneck by the speed of data and active learning.
