AboutAt Nextnet, our vision is to build a safe, reliable and friendly AI for the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry to supercharge knowledge discovery and decision making. Our mission: organize and integrate the world's biomedical knowledge and make it accessible.

Our breakthrough: a proprietary AI stack and purpose-built ontologies that analyzes disparate and multimodal data (text, sequencing, expression, imaging etc.) identifying patterns, extracting knowledge into a rapidly expanding semantic web, so that humans can quickly find leads buried in mountains of information via an Explainable interface. We do this by leveraging recent advances in software, cloud computing, Knowledge Graphs, UI/UX and large language models.

The scope of the opportunity is massive: we estimate our target market for productivity and knowledge management within Biotech is around $50 Billion and growing. There is a tsunami of multi-modal data due to advances in optics, mass spectrometry, single cell sequencing and other techniques (e.g., CRISPR gene editing) significantly expanding the market opportunity.

With more than 95% of the 30,000 diseases known to mankind having no form of treatment or cure, this is where Generative AI can make the biggest impact.

Who We AreWe are a small team of Machine Learning engineers, computational biologists, designers and entrepreneurs committed to making biomedical knowledge universally accessible to accelerate biomedical discoveries. We build on experience from founding a breakthrough and fast-growing biotechnology company (Mekonos) to our academic training at Oxford, Yale, Duke, Berkeley among others and working at Broadcom, Sopra Steria, Computer Associates and the Defense Industry.

Our user base is growing rapidly at ~10% weekly, represented by more than 36 countries including the United States, Israel, India, Japan, Netherlands, Australia, United Kingdom, Taiwan, Singapore, Italy, Germany, and China. We are already working with multiple renowned Medical Centers, growth stage Biotech and Pharma companies and expanding into the European territories. And, we are funded by exceptional investors like Hike Ventures and many Ultra High Net Worth Individuals (UHNWIs).

We are a remote-first company but get together in-person during company offsites in California. We are looking for kind, collaborative and mission-driven teammates who work within +/- 3 hours of Pacific Time.

Our Engineering CultureAfter more than 2.5 years of R&D, we have begun to generate revenue and significantly scaling our sales motion via a combination of our retail and Enterprise software products. We are an interdisciplinary team of individuals passionate about making AI the language of biomedicine. We seek and celebrate diverse perspectives and are committed to building a company and culture that reflects the diversity of the world around us. We hire teammates who think from first principles, thrive on ownership and speed, care deeply about impact and are naturally curious.
