Manifold is a leading research cloud built for life sciences. Biomedical research is now about data of increasing scale, modality, velocity, and complexity. It is also inherently collaborative. The old tools aren’t working. Manifold gives researchers a single place to collect, harmonize, and analyze life sciences data, without having to set up compute infrastructure, do complex data integrations and prep, or hire a large software team.

Eli is a women's health company on a mission to improve lifelong health through continuous hormone monitoring. Hormones impact physical and mental health every day and at every stage of life. Eli offers real-time insights from hormones in saliva that can be tracked continuously over time, unlike traditional testing methods or send-out tests that only provide a single snapshot. With just three simple steps, Eli's at-home technology provides women with personalized hormone profiles to make informed decisions about their health. Eli is filling a data gap to transform how women manage their hormonal health in key areas like menopause, fertility, contraception, and endocrine conditions. Eli has raised a total of $9 million so women can have the information they need to optimize their overall health from puberty to beyond menopause.
