Alloy Therapeutics

In 2023, a group of visionary scientists and investors recognized that drug discovery remained an expensive, time-consuming process with high failure rates. Despite advances in AI, the pharmaceutical industry was still struggling to translate computational insights into viable medicines. This realization sparked the creation of Xaira Therapeutics - co-founded and incubated by ARCH Venture Partners and Foresite Labs - to build an integrated biotechnology company that would truly harness the transformative power of artificial intelligence for drug discovery. Built on the groundbreaking protein design work of Nobel Laureate Dr. David Baker and his team at the University of Washington's Institute for Protein Design, Xaira brings together advanced AI research, expansive data generation, and robust therapeutic product development. The company emerged from stealth mode in 2024 with over $1 billion in funding, ready to revolutionize how we treat disease by making predictions about the right biology to target, the best therapeutics to modulate those targets, and the patients who will benefit most. With offices in South San Francisco, Seattle, and London, Xaira is shifting drug discovery from an empirical science to a precise engineering discipline.

In 2017, Obsidian Security was created to close a critical gap: securing the SaaS applications where modern business happens. The founders recognized that while enterprises had focused heavily on securing cloud infrastructure and endpoints, SaaS sprawl had exposed an enormous security vulnerability where users, data, and business operations actually live. Obsidian set out to build the first truly comprehensive security solution for SaaS environments. Backed by top investors including Greylock Partners, Norwest Venture Partners, GV, Wing, and IVP, Obsidian has built a complete SaaS security platform that combines application posture management with identity and data protection to prevent, detect, and mitigate threats across the entire kill chain. The platform provides real-time visibility into SaaS environments, detects deviations from normal behavior that can indicate account compromise or insider threats, and responds to risks as they happen. Today, Obsidian is trusted by global enterprises including Snowflake, T-Mobile, Pure Storage, and protects more than 200 organizations across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. The company's leadership team includes industry veterans who helped define the categories of endpoint and identity security at CrowdStrike, Okta, Cylance, and Carbon Black.

Over 80% of the world's population lives in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), yet these regions account for less than 6% of global pharmaceutical revenue, leaving hundreds of millions without access to essential medicines. Axmed exists to change this reality. Through a technology-driven B2B marketplace, the company connects healthcare procurers directly with trusted pharmaceutical suppliers, eliminating the fragmented systems that keep medicines out of reach and creating a transparent, efficient procurement ecosystem. As a social impact venture, Axmed operates with radical transparency - capping markups at 10% in an industry where 250% is commonplace and redeploying 30% of profits back into the health systems served. Since launching the platform, Axmed has reached 4.2 million patients, achieved 35% average cost savings on medicines, and built a network of 130+ active procurers and suppliers across 5,000 products. With headquarters in Switzerland and regional operations in Nairobi, the company combines cutting-edge technology with strategic partnerships to accelerate equitable access to medicines for the 6.5 billion people who need them most.
