01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Trident Bioscience was a Mountain View, California biotech startup founded in 2020 by Tyler Shimko to accelerate protein engineering. Its machine-learning operations platform gave scientists and ML engineers biology- and chemistry-aware workflows, automated validation and model lifecycle management for data-driven life-sciences research — using predictive models of protein structure and function plus a sequence-optimization algorithm to close the design-build-test loop of protein optimization. A Y Combinator company, it raised about $150,000.
