Flagship Pioneering led a $200m seed round in Lila Sciences.

Flagship Pioneering, a venture capital firm, led a $200m seed round in Lila Sciences, a scientific superintelligence platform, with participation from General Catalyst, March Capital, ARK Venture Fund, Altitude Life Science Ventures, Blue Horizon Advisors, State of Michigan Retirement System, Modi Ventures and ADIA. "For all of human history, the method for scientific exploration has been steadfast: we predict, test, learn, create. Yet for all the progress we have made, we still understand only a fraction of the rules that govern the physical world. With Lila, our hypothesis is that by scaling experimentation, we can unlock emergent abilities and enable discoveries that remain hidden at smaller scales. Lila represents an ambitious undertaking that we believe will accelerate science with enormous benefit to society," Noubar Afeyan, Flagship Pioneering Founder and CEO.
