About BenchSci: BenchSci's mission is to unravel the complexity of disease biology for the betterment of patients. We do this by applying neuro-symbolic AI to unravel the black box of disease biology — the number one reason drug discovery projects fail.

Despite significant advancements, drug discovery still takes over a decade and billions of dollars — and 90% of clinical trials still fail. The core problem is getting the biology wrong before programs go to scale. BenchSci exists to fix that.

Our platform, ASCEND, is the world's first neuro-symbolic AI built for biopharma disease biology. It gives scientists clarity in hours or weeks that previously took months. Our platform is used by 9 of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies across 4,500+ research centers, and grew 247% over three years (Deloitte Fast 500, 2025). We've raised $200M+ from Generation Investment Management, Google's Gradient Ventures, TCV, and F-Prime.

Our Culture: Our culture fosters transparency, collaboration, and continuous learning.

We value each other's differences and always look for opportunities to embed equity into the fabric of our work. We foster diversity, autonomy, and personal growth, and provide resources to support motivated self-leaders in continuous improvement.

You will work with high-impact, highly skilled, and intelligent experts motivated to drive impact and fulfill a meaningful mission. We empower you to unleash your full potential, do your best work, and thrive. Here you will be challenged to stretch yourself to achieve the seemingly impossible.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion : We're committed to creating an inclusive environment where people from all backgrounds can thrive. We believe that improving diversity, equity and inclusion is our collective responsibility, and this belief guides our DEI journey. Learn more about our DEI initiatives .
