PostEra

PostEra is a biotechnology company backed by YCombinator (YC W20).\n\nDrug discovery R\u0026D is slow and expensive and this limits biotechs and pharma from getting new drugs into development and new cures to patients. PostEra is building a one-stop-shop for medicinal chemistry, powered by machine learning, to serve the world's ever expanding community of drug hunters while also leading the world's largest open-science initiative to find a COVID cure; COVID Moonshot.\n\nPostEra offers 2 products:\n\n1. Partnerships - We offer our full stack of machine learning tools to help our partners (small biotech to large pharma) develop drugs faster and cheaper.\n\n2. Manifold - We offer a cloud based platform where drug hunters can use our ML tools to reduce the time and cost of their drug discovery.\n\nAs a company we have a particular of focus on chemical synthesis; the process of making molecules and Manifold's flagship product centers on solving this problem of how to get compounds made.
