Moving science from ideas to discoveries
AI is changing what scientists can imagine, model and test. But discovery still depends on executing in the lab. Today, that translation layer is still too manual: context gets rebuilt, constraints surface late, and good ideas wait on the work required to make them runnable.
Potato is building software for that layer, connecting scientific intent to real-world lab execution so teams can move from idea to experiment to learning faster.
Team
Founded by scientists. Built for what's next.
We've designed assays, built automation workflows, and worked at the intersection of biology, engineering, and software, which means we understand both the promise of AI and what it takes to make it work in the lab.
