Lila Sciences raises $235 million to expand AI-driven research platform | Pharmaceutical | The Pharmaletter
Lila Sciences has secured $235 million in series A financing, co-led by Braidwell and Collective Global, at a valuation of about $1.23 billion. The Massachusetts-based company, founded by Flagship Pioneering in 2023, is building an artificial intelligence platform designed to automate and accelerate the scientific method across multiple disciplines.
The latest financing follows a $200-million seed round in March and will be used to hire staff and open new sites in Boston, San Francisco and London. These locations will house the company’s so-called AI Science Factories, facilities that integrate AI, robotics and laboratory systems to design and run experiments at scale. Lila says these factories have already conducted hundreds of thousands of studies across life science, chemistry and materials science.
