Science can reward its practitioners with thrilling eureka moments — with an emphasis on “moments.” A lot of research is slogging through experiments that don’t always work, wading through research publications, and performing mental contortions in pursuit of the next hypothesis.
A new Seattle-area startup aims to change that. Co-founders Ryan Kosai and Nick Edwards have built Potato AI, which they’re pitching as an AI scientific research assistant.
Potato launched last year and today announced a $1 million pre-seed round. The startup also recently shared that it’s the first partner in an AI program created by Wiley, an academic and education publishing powerhouse.
