As science funding slowly recovers from a relative nadir, KdT Ventures continues to be open for business. Now with over $100M in fresh capital to keep doing what we do best- support early stage intrepid science. Rare for us to take a second to celebrate our growth as a firm, as investors, and as humans. I could not be more proud of our team, who everyday tirelessly accelerates the impact of science across physical world supply chains. We are also humbled by and grateful to the companies and entrepreneurs we support, who actively choose to welcome us into their journey. We continue to show up for our founders and partners, share our learnings across the ecosystem to elevate everyone's game, attempt not to make the same mistakes twice, and bring humility and grace to everything we do. Thankful. #science https://lnkd.in/g4d-M2yy

humbled to announce KdT IV, an oversubscribed $100M+ fund dedicated to supporting early-stage, science-driven companies. at KdT, we believe the most iconic companies of our time are those that leverage scientific breakthroughs to build enduring businesses with significant societal impact. our conviction is that science-driven ventures require a focused, technical, and strategic team of investors to support founders from the earliest stages. our mission remains the same: to partner with founders building at the intersection of technology and the physical layer of the world, across multiple verticals including therapeutics, digital health, chemicals, materials, and beyond. capital alone is not enough; we are committed to providing technical expertise and strategic guidance to help navigate the long, windy road from scientific discovery to commercial success. we are deeply grateful to our limited partners for their trust, co-investors for their collaboration, and most importantly, the founders who give us the privilege of participating in their journey. we have the best job in the world. coverage in the comments below.

Today we are excited to make two big announcements! First, we have launched a new collaboration with Microsoft! This collaboration includes access to the computing resources we need to power our novel drug discovery platform and to scale our generative AI models. And speaking of models, the second announcement is that we’ve released the details of our Foundation Model, PRISM (Pretrained Representations Informed by Spectral Masking). PRISM takes advantage of the latest advancements in machine learning that let models learn from unlabeled data. This allowed us to train it on the largest dataset of mass spectra ever assembled – over one billion! – which has improved our ability to translate cryptic mass spectra data into predictions of chemical structures and properties. These predictions point our chemists to the most attractive and amenable molecules in nature to turn into new, impactful medicines. For more details on the collaboration, check out the press release: https://bit.ly/450dnGE And to learn about PRISM, please read our blog post: https://lnkd.in/g3UMiTA4
