Artificial, Inc.
"Orchestrating the future of life sciences"
Palo Alto-based lab automation software company orchestrating life science workflows via its aLab Suite platform, founded 2017, backed by Microsoft M12.
Artificial, Inc. is a Palo Alto, California-based software company founded in 2017 by David Fuller (CEO) and Nikhita Singh (CPO). The company develops the aLab Suite, a cloud-based digital orchestration platform designed to unify and automate laboratory operations in the life sciences industry.
The aLab Suite integrates robotics hardware, laboratory information management systems (LIMS), electronic lab notebooks (ELNs), and human workflows into a single interface. Key capabilities include autonomous scheduling of lab tasks, real-time monitoring, data capture, and AI-driven workflow optimization. The platform is designed to keep humans in the loop while dramatically reducing manual overhead in drug discovery and biotech research environments.
Artificial has notable pedigree: the founding team previously built tools for SpaceX ground control and LEGO Mindstorms, and developed cloud lab software before pivoting to life science orchestration. In May 2021, the company raised a $21.5M Series A round led by M12 (Microsoft's venture fund), with participation from Playground Global and AME Cloud Ventures. The company has also integrated NVIDIA BioNeMo NIM microservices to enable self-driving virtual screening workflows.
Artificial targets pharmaceutical companies, biotech startups, and contract research organizations (CROs) seeking to scale automated lab capacity. The company employs approximately 34-45 people.
