CryoCloud

Begijnehof 10A, Utrecht, 3512 AZ, Netherlands

Overview

CryoCloud provides a cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) SaaS platform that enables researchers to visualise and analyse protein structures at high resolution. The platform automates complex structural biology workflows and gives scientists access to petabytes of storage and dozens of GPUs in minutes rather than months. It uses proprietary machine-learning algorithms to process terabytes of structural data and reduce the time and cost of molecular imaging. CryoCloud aims to make cryo-EM more accessible by lowering hardware and expertise barriers and supporting structure-based drug discovery. The company plans to use the new funding to build the next generation of algorithms and expand its platform capabilities. The €2M Seed round brings total investment to €2.8M following a €500,000 Pre-Seed in 2023. Customers report higher productivity, and the customer base spans more than 25 countries across academia, biotech, and the pharmaceutical industry. CryoCloud provides a cloud-based cryoEM data analysis platform that enables fast, scalable determination of 3D protein structures for drug discovery. Co-founded in 2021 and based in Utrecht, the Netherlands, the company progressed from conceptual stages through various accelerator programs to launch its analysis platform. The platform allows scientists to determine protein structures experimentally and visualize relevant targets in their native or drug-bound state. CryoCloud has moved beyond concept to a launched product and recently closed external financing. It raised €500k in a pre-seed round led by Nina Capital with participation from Utrecht Health Seed Fund and ROM Utrecht Region. The company will use the funds to expand the capabilities of its platform.
