Bindwell
The pesticide industry is stalling.
AI for bio isn't moving fast enough to solve it.
Pesticides are the fastest economically valuable feedback loop in all of molecular design.
Code and math got solved first in AI because you can check the answer quickly and cheaply, molecules have stalled because there’s no such verifier.
In pharma, going from a design to a real answer in a living animal takes years. Ours takes a day.
About us
We’re Tyler Rose (Wolfram Research) and Navvye Anand (Caltech), a scrappy duo of engineers who met at the Wolfram Research Program in June 2023. We're from China and India, respectively, and both close to farmlands in our countries. United by our passion for tackling hard problems, we dropped out of school and started Bindwell to solve molecular discovery.
We're strong believers in Richard Sutton's The Bitter Lesson: general methods that scale with computation and data beat methods built on human knowledge, every time. We don't hand-design pesticides, we build wet labs that produce data at scale and neural networks that learn from it. That's the path to solving pesticide discovery, and ultimately all molecular discovery.
Build with us
We’re a team of engineers and researchers founded by Tyler Rose and Navvye Anand. We’re looking for exceptional people in machine learning, chemistry, and laboratory automation to help us solve molecular discovery. Join us
