Discovery Loop
Discovery Loop is a public benefit corporation founded to automate the experimental loop of science and engineering. Jeff Dean left Google after 27 years to run it, and the plan is to be its own first customer — automating machine learning research before any other field.

Notes
The page reads more like a printed memorandum than a startup launch: warm parchment ground, a wide-tracked serif wordmark whose double O resolves into a loop, and four sections numbered 01–04 in tiny letterspaced caps. Display headings in old-style serif sit left, explanatory prose in a small sans column to the right, so the claim and its supporting detail never compete for the same line. Lavender is rationed — an italic ‘bottlenecked’ in the opening spread, then the careers button at the very end — and the ground goes near-black only for the closing section. One group portrait of the four founders, captioned left-to-right in the magazine manner, does all the visual work.

Chai Discovery
Chai Discovery builds AI models that let scientists design new drug molecules on a computer instead of screening for them in a lab. Backed by OpenAI, it came out of stealth in 2024 by publishing its structure-prediction model with open weights rather than keeping it proprietary.
FLORA
FLORA is a node-based canvas where designers, brand teams and agencies chain more than 50 AI image, video and text models into a single workflow. It started as an NYU grad-school project by Weber Wong and is now used for production work at Pentagram and Lionsgate.
Legora
Legora is an AI workspace for lawyers, used at large firms and in-house teams for document review, drafting and legal research. Founded in Stockholm as Leya and renamed once the product outgrew the chat box, it reached a $5.6bn valuation less than two years after its seed round.
