Bower provides an operating stack for scientists that uses ambient intelligence and integrations with smart glasses and wearables to capture voice, video, images, readings, and workflows and convert them into structured, searchable knowledge. The product acts as an ambient scribe that documents experiments, marks results and workflows, and can guide researchers through checklists and protocols at the bench. The founding team combines product and AI leadership (Michelle MacRae), engineering and knowledge-graph experience (David Lyon), startup scaling experience (James Boysons), and long-standing research domain expertise (Renaud Joannes-Boyau). Bower reports early pilot customers and design partners including Mount Sinai, Southern Cross University, and Mass Affinity Bloodless Diagnostics. The company raised $2M in a Pre-Seed round to deepen work with design partners and early beta users and to prepare to scale in the coming year.
