Synfini

333 Ravenswood Ave, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, United States

Overview

Synfini operates an AI Cloud Foundry platform that merges artificial intelligence, automated synthesis, and iterative molecular design to accelerate discovery and synthesis of small molecules. The platform integrates target selection, compound design, reaction route prediction, and synthesis into a single workflow that shortens iteration cycles and reduces costs. By combining physical and virtual chemistry, Synfini produces novel, optimized compounds more rapidly than traditional early discovery processes. Since spinning out from SRI in 2023, the company has confirmed its approach through early traction and strategic partnerships. Synfini will use recent funding to expand its software and automated lab capabilities, hire additional scientific and engineering staff, and deepen commercial partnerships. The company has raised a total of $53 million to date, including the latest $8.9 million expansion and a mix of venture investments and non-dilutive grants.
