About

In 2019, Apheris was founded with a singular vision: to solve one of pharmaceutical research's most persistent challenges. The founders recognized that while AI held immense promise for drug discovery, the most valuable data remained locked away in proprietary silos, inaccessible due to privacy, security, and IP concerns. Traditional approaches required data centralization - a non-starter for pharmaceutical companies fiercely protective of their research assets. This insight sparked the creation of Apheris, a platform that would enable collaboration without compromise.

Today, Apheris powers the world's leading federated life sciences data networks, enabling pharmaceutical companies to train superior AI models on distributed, proprietary datasets without ever moving or exposing sensitive information. Through the Apheris Gateway, organizations maintain complete data sovereignty while participating in industry-wide collaborations like the AI Structural Biology (AISB) Network, which brings together eight top-20 pharma companies including AbbVie, AstraZeneca, and Johnson & Johnson. By deploying secure, local applications for drug discovery - from co-folding models to ADMET prediction - Apheris is fundamentally transforming how the pharmaceutical industry leverages AI, turning data isolation into collaborative advantage.

Aphex

At Aphex, we believe the best way to improve construction delivery is to give people the tools and time to do their jobs well. Founded by engineers who've spent years in the field, we've built a multiplayer planning platform that replaces the mess of spreadsheets, whiteboards, and fragmented systems that plague construction teams. Our software brings engineers, planners, and site teams onto one connected platform where everyone can see what's happening, when it's happening, and who's responsible. We're a team that values genuine collaboration over corporate politics. We write when we could meet, optimize for focus not facetime, and believe software quality comes from small teams with real ownership. Since 2019, we've become the dominant planning platform for major infrastructure projects in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand - helping the world's largest contractors like Skanska, Balfour Beatty, and Vinci deliver projects ranging from £50 million to multi-billion-pound megaprojects. Now we're expanding globally, tackling an industry that drives 10% of global GDP yet has seen productivity decline for 20 years.

Mercanis

We started Mercanis because we believed procurement deserved better than the legacy systems that still dominate the industry. Our platform is built for the actual complexity procurement teams face today - not the simplified version other tools assume. We're not just digitizing old processes; we're rethinking how procurement should work in an age where AI can handle the heavy lifting. Our team of 55 specialized AI agents orchestrates the entire procurement lifecycle, from intake to sourcing, supplier management to contracts. Whether deployed as a full procurement platform or as an agentic AI layer on top of existing systems, Mercanis unifies your procurement function. Industry leaders like BASF, GASAG, Oventrop, Brose, and Wilson use our platform because it delivers rapid implementation, high user adoption, and measurable cost savings from day one - typically over 40% process savings, a 2.5x efficiency increase, and a 12x return on investment. We're building the tools we believe procurement teams actually need: intuitive, powerful, and designed for the way modern work happens.
