At Glowforge, I get to help people make beautiful things. My dear friend @dpatil cofounded Warp Sciences to make new medicines.
He wins.
I'm so grateful to be an investor and get to be a small part of this journey.

The future of AI-driven science won’t just be about designing better molecules, but building the infrastructure to actually make and test them at scale.
That’s what we’re building at @warpsciences

This take from my @warpsciences co-founder Sol Reisberg is important—and a great read from an expert in the space.

Such an incredible team and big win for Meta
Today, we're announcing that Sundial has been acquired by @Meta!
Chandra Narayanan and I are joining along with some other incredible members of our team.
Nearly six years ago, Chandra and I started Sundial with two core beliefs: 1) better decisions come from using data well, and 2) great things come from working on hard problems with people you like.
Sundial automated away many of the obstacles involved in getting to meaningful analysis (Cleaning data! Creating semantic layers! Writing SQL! Storytelling!), and we were proud to support some of the fastest-growing AI companies from OpenAI to Gamma.
We started before the AI wave and rebuilt ourselves to be AI-native. We raised our first round when interest rates were near zero, and our Series A when they were the highest in two decades. We watched customers hyperscale and then close shop, new grads grow into leaders, and software development change completely.
Entrepreneurship has been my dream since college, when I first took a class on start-ups (shoutout Mayfield Fellows!). I wish I'd been brave enough sooner because there’s no better way to learn how the world works and who you really are than betting on yourself to launch a business.
Meta is my former home and where I learned product and design. It's also one of the most analytically rigorous places on the planet. So many of Sundial's values came from there: questioning assumptions, diagnosing with data, owning the user’s experience. I'm thrilled to bring what we've learned to the place where it all started and continue our mission of improving the quality and velocity of business decisions with people we like.
To Team Sundial past and present, THANK YOU thank you thank you. You created that special feeling within our team, and I bask in the memories of having walked those lush miles and eaten those breakfast dosas with you.
To our investors and supporters especially @dpatil, David Fischer + the whole 01A advisors team, @mvernal, @sequoia: how did we get so lucky to have your counsel and support? And to my beloved @mikesego and kiddos: I could not have made it without you.
These have been some of the hardest, most humbling, and most alive years of my life. I hope I'm wiser for it and will have many chances to pay it forward!

RSI for drug development! Warp Sciences is automating preclinical research by combining robotics with frontier AI. This creates a recursive feedback loop between data and models to accelerate drug development. Huge congratulations on the launch!

I’ve known Kevin and DJ for over a decade and worked for DJ at LinkedIn. Excited for @warpsciences: tighter OODA loops for science. AI helps plan experiments, robots execute, results improve the models. Faster cycles of observing, orienting, deciding, and acting to discover new medicines. 🚀

AI has made its biggest jumps where there's a deep pool of data to train on. AI in healthcare could have an incredible impact on humanity, but that data doesn't exist yet. It has to be produced in wet labs.
That makes lab space the new compute: the more of it you build, the faster discovery moves.
@kevinweil and @dpatil have pulled together an incredible team of scientists, roboticists and researchers at Warp to go after it.
Kevin is one of my oldest friends from our Twitter days and one of the smartest, kindest, most capable people I've ever met.
Excited to see what they build and the impact it will have on the world. Onward!

Models are getting smarter and cheaper every month, but bringing a single drug to market still costs ~$2.7B and limited by the number experiments humans can run today. I lost my beloved aunt to cancer, helplessly watched my best friend battle cancer, and too many patients like them are still desperately waiting for treatments.
@warpsciences is building the hands, nervous system, and brain of scientific discovery to bring new medicines to patients faster. They emerged from stealth today with $215 million in funding from @lightspeedvp, @SignalFire, @nvidia, @IVP, Mayfield, @Lux_Capital, @MenloVentures, @ScribbleVC, @brian_armstrong (@coinbase CEO), @mikeyk (@AnthropicAI Labs co-lead), @_milankovac_ (former @Tesla Robotics VP), @istoica05 (@databricks co-founder), @fidjissimo (former @OpenAI AGI Deployment CEO), @BrendanFoody (@mercor CEO), @markchen90 (OpenAI Chief Research Officer), @thefriley (OpenAI CFO), @kate_rouch (former OpenAI and Coinbase CMO), @lulumeservey (Rostra CEO), @deepakpathak (@SkildAI CEO), @zoink (@figma CEO), and @lachygroom (@physical_int cofounder and COO).
Warp fits the pattern we look for in category-defining AI companies:
1️⃣ A powerhouse founding team uniquely qualified for the mission: @kevinweil (CPO and VP of Science at OpenAI), Solomon Reisberg (Terremoto Biosciences/ 20+ yrs med-chem, 5 drugs to clinic), @dpatil (First U.S. Chief Data Scientist at @WhiteHouse, @DevotedHealth) and @manohar_paluri (@Meta Superintelligence Labs).
2️⃣ A hair-on-fire problem. Speed, cost, and IP security in preclinical chemistry are major pain points for every drug developer.
3️⃣ Going deep, not broad. Warp brings together leading chemists, AI, and robotics in a vertically integrated model. It owns the physical layer that produces the data moat.
4️⃣ A wedge that funds the global scientific mission. The CRO business is a multi-billion-dollar industry expected to reach $126B by 2034. Nearly 74% of biopharma companies contract with overseas CROs, but the BIOSECURE Act signed in 2025 is catalyzing the largest onshoring wave in biopharma history.
Warp is ultimately building critical infrastructure and capacity for discovering new medicines faster in America, while making scientific progress a function of compute, not headcount. I truly believe that this team is tackling one of the most significant challenges that our generation faces today scientifically and geopolitically.

Congrats @kevinweil, @dpatil and the @warpsciences team!
Every AI-for-science bet eventually hits the same wall: going from moving bits to moving atoms. Cutting the latency of that atom-moving loop - automated labs that learn from every run - changes the economics of entire industries. And building this in the US matters for national security as much as for the people developing new medicines.
Can’t imagine a better crew to make this happen 🦾

I’ve known @kevinweil and @dpatil for nearly two decades. They’re two of the smartest people I know. So when they asked @uncorkcap to invest in their new company, we jumped at the opportunity.
Kevin and DJ, alongside Sol Reisberg and @manohar_paluri, are building something that could genuinely change millions of lives: a new approach to discovering medicines that brings together expert chemists, AI, and robotics.
Today, developing a new drug takes years and involves testing thousands of molecules, most of which don't work. And all those failed experiments contain valuable information that today's AI models largely don't have access to.
Warp is building the scientific infrastructure here in the U.S. to help researchers discover new medicines faster, with the goal of dramatically accelerating experimentation. The lab will also generate valuable experimental data to help train increasingly capable AI models.
This team could do just about anything, and they've decided to take on one of the hardest problems in science. Couldn't be more excited to be part of it!

This company was so badly needed and I'm glad @kevinweil @dpatil are focusing on it. We need to reshore critical scientific capabilities from China (and the only way is using robots/AI to bring the cost curve down), so we don’t also lose our pharma industry.

I've got a new mission. Joining forces with @kevinweil, @manohar_paluri & Sol Reisberg. Our mission is to help the world discover new medicines faster—and build the capacity to do it here in America.
This one is super personal to me. I've sat with patients and families confronting diseases. I've met people with rare diseases who have spent years searching for treatments. I've spent time with cancer patients who have exhausted every available option.
Those conversations change how you think about science, technology, and time.
When you're sitting across from someone who is waiting for a medicine that doesn't exist yet, the pace of scientific progress stops being an abstract question.
It becomes deeply personal. This needed to change for a long time. We're here to help. 🇺🇸
