Top Telecommunications Startups in 2027

Imaging trying to write software on an OS that changes every day - that's what life science is like. Only about 20% of published research is fully reproducible, and we think that needs to change dramatically. Drug development shouldn't take decades and billions of dollars - we need to become better at creating new medicines faster and more cheaply. All of that starts with trusting your experimental data. Our mission is to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery by collecting data from the real world (ie the "physical OS") to tackle the reproducibility problem. We do this by building sensors and using machine learning to help scientists understand their own data better so they can work faster and more reliably.

The future of work is increasingly complex — remote workers, distributed teams, flexible multi-tenant office space — and the dynamic of how workers interact with each other and how workers interact with their physical space is changing. Pre-COVID, our tech was focused on workspace design to enable collaboration. Now we are helping companies plan for a post-COVID workplace and safe return to work for employees.
