What is the biggest pain point that new bio labs face? You'd be surprised, but for many, it's setting up their biocomputational infrastructure. LatchBio's founders Alfredo Andere, Kenny Workman, and Kyle Giffin recognized this problem and set out to find a solution.
“I was tasked multiple times to go out and find software vendors to do specific things like store files, analyze files, or set up machine learning workflows, and there were no readily available options,” recalls Workman. This experience served as an initial impetus to create a solution for this all-too-common problem.
Similarly, Alfredo Andere, the company’s CEO, was familiar with the state-of-the-art tech from his internships at Facebook and Google. All three of them saw an opportunity to bring biology’s data infrastructure up to par. After a year and a half of working together in this space and with one semester left to go, they dropped out of Berkeley and launched LatchBio.
“Let’s go ask our customers, let’s be obsessed with our customers,” Andere recalls the early days at the company. They listened to what the customers wanted and built the platform by taking the best practices from existing software-as-a-service providers. And it proved to be an effective strategy: LatchBio already has over 30 paying customers who run over 10,000 workflows every month.
