We are on a mission to establish the new standard of care for the human gut microbiome.

Founded in 2017 by pioneers in microbiome science—Stephane Culler, PhD, and Stephen van Dien, PhD—and powered by $15M+ in seed funding from top investors—including Y Combinator, Fifty Years, and BrightEdge (American Cancer Society) — we are launching our first consumer product in Q1 2025.

Our expertise has been honed via multi-million dollar partnerships in consumer health, oncology, and synthetic biology, including:

• My Baby Biome: The largest U.S. study of the infant gut microbiome
• ARGONAUT: The largest U.S. study mapping the gut-immune health of cancer patients
• AMBROSIA: A study in partnership with Kroger Health on how diet and lifestyle impacts the microbiome

For the past 7 years, we have built a proprietary AI-driven product discovery and development platform that leverages our clinical breakthroughs, enabling us to tackle the biggest challenges in healthcare.
