| Date | Stage | Investors | Raised | Valuation | Deal Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oct 2025 | Series A | NVentures (lead) | $115M | $1.3B | Lila Sciences, an AI startup originating from Flagship Pioneering, develops 'AI Science Factories'—autonomous labs powered by specialized AI models for continuous experimentation, analysis, and hypothesis generation in fields like life sciences, chemistry, materials, green energy, drug development, carbon capture, and semiconductors. The company positions its scientific superintelligence platform to accelerate discoveries, which partners and startups can commercialize rather than Lila developing products in-house. On October 14, 2025, Lila raised $115 million in a Series A extension led by NVIDIA's NVentures, with other participants including Analog Devices, In-Q-Tel, and Dauntless Ventures, bringing the total Series A to $350 million and overall funding to $550 million. This extension followed a prior $235 million Series A tranche co-led by Braidwell and Collective Global, with additional investors like General Catalyst, ADIA, and various institutional funds representing over $2 trillion in assets under management. The funding values Lila Sciences at over $1.3 billion post-money, highlighting strong investor interest in AI-driven scientific automation. The capital will expand operations, including a 235,500-square-foot lab lease in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and open the platform to commercial customers in energy, semiconductors, and drug development. Lila's automated labs have already generated thousands of discoveries across chemistry, materials, and life sciences, supported by collaborations providing cutting-edge computational infrastructure from partners like NVIDIA. The diverse investor syndicate spans biotech, deep tech, national security, and sovereign wealth funds, betting on AI's role in physical scientific systems and reindustrialization of critical technologies. |
| Sep 2025 | Series A | Braidwell (lead); Collective Global Management (lead) | $235M | $1.2B | Lila Sciences, founded by Flagship Pioneering and led by CEO Geoffrey von Maltzahn, emerged from stealth in March 2025 with a $200 million seed round from investors including General Catalyst, March Capital, ARK Venture Fund, and others. The Massachusetts-based company is developing a scientific superintelligence platform that integrates generative AI, robotics, and automated labs to accelerate discoveries in life sciences, chemistry, materials, and beyond, enabling autonomous hypothesis generation, experiment design, and validation for applications like novel protein therapeutics, nucleic acids, and diagnostics to address challenges in cancer, obesity, and immune diseases. In September 2025, Lila Sciences raised a $235 million Series A round co-led by Braidwell and Collective Global Management, with participation from Altitude Life Science Ventures, ARK Investment Management, Alumni Ventures, Flagship Pioneering, General Catalyst, March Capital, the Mathers Foundation, Modi Ventures, NGS Super, State of Michigan Retirement System, and a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, achieving a post-money valuation of approximately $1.23 billion and unicorn status. The funding supports expansion of its AI-driven research platform, workforce growth, and new hubs in San Francisco, Boston, and London to scale AI Science Factories for high-throughput experimentation. The Series A was later extended in October 2025 by $115 million from additional investors like NVentures and Catalio Capital Management, bringing the total Series A to $350 million and overall funding to $550 million, with valuation rising above $1.3 billion. Lila's platform aims to compress scientific timelines from days or weeks to minutes or hours, positioning it among the most heavily financed AI-life sciences ventures amid a market projected to grow from $2.88 billion to $8.8 billion by 2029. Key advisors include George Church as CSO and Andrew Beam as CTO, leveraging expertise in genetics and AI to build an operating system for autonomous science across therapeutics, materials, manufacturing, energy, and computing. |
| Mar 2025 | Seed | Flagship Pioneering (lead); General Catalyst; Blue Horizon Advisors; Abu Dhabi Investment Authority; March Capital; ARK Venture Fund; Altitude Life Science Ventures; State of Michigan Retirement System; Modi Ventures | $200M | $1.3B | Lila Sciences is an artificial intelligence startup founded in 2023 by Flagship Pioneering with the mission of creating 'scientific superintelligence' through autonomous AI-driven research systems. The company integrates advanced AI with autonomous lab systems and robotics to accelerate scientific discovery across materials science, chemistry, and life sciences. Its core offering consists of 'AI Science Factories'—highly automated research environments designed to independently generate hypotheses, design and execute experiments, and rapidly learn from results without relying solely on historical literature or databases. In October 2025, Lila Sciences closed a $350 million Series A round that included multiple investors focused on deep tech and scientific advancement. This round was split into a $235 million tranche closed in September 2025 (led by Braidwell Capital and Collective Global) plus an additional $115 million extension in October 2025 with backing from Nvidia's venture arm. The combined Series A brought the company's post-money valuation to $1.3 billion and total capital raised to $550 million, including a $200 million seed round closed at launch in March 2023. Lila Sciences is using the capital to expand its AI Science Factories infrastructure, which are being constructed in Boston, London, and San Francisco. The company has secured a major real estate commitment, signing a 235,500-square-foot lease in Cambridge. Rather than developing products internally, Lila operates a platform model, licensing its autonomous research infrastructure and AI capabilities to partners in pharmaceuticals, energy, semiconductors, and materials discovery. The company claims its automated labs have already generated thousands of discoveries and developed advanced large language models with scientific reasoning capabilities, genetic medicine constructs, and novel antibodies and peptides, though independent verification has not been publicly released. The company's growth trajectory reflects strong investor confidence in AI-driven scientific automation as a critical infrastructure layer. Lila's positioning as a platform provider—dubbed 'the AWS of science'—diversifies revenue exposure compared to traditional biotech R&D models and creates a compounding data advantage as each experiment refines underlying AI models. The funding will accelerate deployment of the platform to commercial partners in what the company describes as strategic scientific domains. |
