Background

Tetsuwan Scientific is a San Francisco-based startup founded in 2024 by Cristian Ponce and Théo Schäfer. The company focuses on developing "autonomous AI scientists"—software and robotics platforms designed to automate wet-lab experimentation in life sciences. Their core product, ResearchOS, aims to translate scientific experimental protocols into automated execution.

As of early 2026, the company has raised funding through pre-seed and seed rounds, including investment from firms such as 2048 Ventures. A Series A round typically represents a company's first significant venture capital financing after seed-stage operations, often used to optimize a product and user base.
