VIA SCIENTIFIC

Via Foundry is the multi-omics platform that lets pharmaceutical companies, bio-techs, and academic researchers go faster in discovering new biological insights.

Via Scientific is a “Science-First” organization that was born from extensive firsthand experience with the promise, and the challenge, of multi-omics research. A decade-plus in the making, the Foundry Platform was originally conceived of, and organically shaped by, the research demands of the scientists and labs at UMass Chan Medical School. It was there where Foundry, and its many capabilities, was shaped, tested, and matured. They are dedicated fully, and solely, to a singular mission – accelerating your multi-omics science so you can more rapidly generate new discoveries and therapeutics that improve the world.

Uniquely powerful and elegantly simple, Foundry is powering the bioinformatics and scientific needs of thousands of scientists, hundreds of labs, and a leading research hospital. They’re proud to help make Foundry, and its many powers, available to the scientific community.

Electives

Corporate training sucks. That’s a problem in a labor market that cites “Professional Development” as the most important attribute of their early career job opportunities.

Today we all want — we all deserve — to feel like we’re advancing personally and professionally in the work we spend much of our waking hours doing. Companies that do that will have an advantage hiring, developing, and keeping the best people in a given category.

Electives is training your employees will love from people they’ll never forget. It’s power by a remarkable community of creators, each telling personal stories and sharing real-world experiences that change minds and inspire growth.

BONOBO.AI

Acquired by Salesforce.com, May 2019

Companies have more customer data than ever before, but it’s hard for customer-facing teams to leverage that information to run their business day-to-day.

Bonobo is the first conversational intelligence platform built to help customer-facing teams know their customers at scale. Powered by AI, Bonobo aggregates and analyzes customer data from every touchpoint – driving greater conversion, upsell, and retention.
