Top Biotechnology Startups in 2027

Novaflow is an AI-powered bioinformatics platform that lets life-science researchers upload raw sequencing data and get publication-ready plots in minutes instead of weeks—no code or bioinformatics team required.

With traditional production, a TV commercial can cost $2M and take months to make. So small brands go unseen by patients, and big brands rerun the same spot. ohohoh.ai is an NYC-based tech startup and production studio on a mission to change how medicines reach patients. We produce tasteful commercials for pharma brands end to end with AI, in weeks instead of months, ready for CTV, YouTube, and Meta. Our clients range from emerging biotechs to global pharma companies. We bring creative taste, brand and patient storytelling, and AI-native tools we build ourselves. If you want to make real work at the frontier of AI filmmaking, built to reach millions of patients, we’d love to meet you.

Every day, scientists across pharma, biotech and academia spend hours at the bench feeding cells, passaging flasks and checking cultures under the microscope. Cell culture is the foundation of drug discovery and cell therapy, yet most of it is still done by hand, one flask at a time. That makes research slow, hard to reproduce and hard to scale. AI for science is changing how experiments are designed. But AI still needs a pair of hands to run them. Whelix builds those hands. We make AI-native robots that automate wet lab work, starting with cell culture. Our Associan™ and Teknician™ platforms pair precise robotics with an agentic software layer that turns a scientist's protocol into a reliable, repeatable run, so scientists can spend their time on the science instead of the routine. We are deploying into pharma and biotech today, with 0 contamination incidents across 50+ consecutive validated runs. We are a small team of engineers and scientists in Boston, working out of MassRobotics and The Engine. Everyone here owns real hardware and software that scientists use. If you want hard problems, fast iteration and work that moves life science research forward, come build with us.

We design and build innovative laboratory automation systems, dynamic scheduling software, and lab automation instruments that help accelerate and streamline discovery for our pharmaceutical, biotech, and academic research clients.

We help solve complex analytical challenges, improve patient diagnostics and increase laboratory productivity.
