EvolutionaryScale, a new AI-driven protein design startup founded by ex-Meta scientist Alex Rives, has raised $142 million in seed funding. The funding round was led by Lux Capital, Amazon, and NVIDIA, with contributions from Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross. EvolutionaryScale's AI model can simulate up to 500 million years of biological evolution, aiming to understand biological processes at a molecular level and make biology programmable. The startup's initial achievement includes evolving a new glowing jellyfish protein. The model can also simulate 300 million years of biological evolution.
