The honest brief

Basecamp Research

Mines DNA from biodiversity worldwide under formal benefit-sharing to build the largest non-public protein database, then trains models on it.

  • Largest proprietary protein/genome dataset
  • Sequences from novel species worldwide
  • Built for training generative protein models
  • Backed by $85M+ across Series A and B
  • Enterprise/partnership only, no self-serve
  • Pricing not publicly disclosed
  • Aimed at biotech teams, not general users

Profluent

Pairs frontier protein LLMs with openly released designs like OpenCRISPR-1, while most peers keep AI-designed molecules proprietary.

  • ProGen protein-LLM lineage
  • Open-released gene editor
  • Nature-published work
  • Eli Lilly and IDT partnerships
  • Partnership/licensing only
  • No self-serve platform
  • Open releases are sequences, not a service
  • Opaque pricing
