About Biocompile

We enable the breakthroughs of tomorrow.

Software defined the last century. Biology will define this one. The ideas are already out there, in university research groups and in small companies with more ambition than headcount, and almost none of them are held back by the science. They are held back by everything around it. We bring research into flow.

  • Vision

    Biology becomes how humanity solves its hardest problems.

    Vaccines that arrive in time, cures for diseases we have lived with for a century, crops that hold up in a hotter climate, sustainable production with microbes: this is the promise of the biological century. It happens one breakthrough at a time, and every one of them starts as somebody's idea. We want every researcher to be able to turn an idea into something with real-world impact.

  • Mission

    One place where knowledge compounds and insights are not lost.

    We bring experiments, files, papers, public data and the reasoning that ties them together into one record that stays structured as it grows, so projects learn from each other, nothing is lost again, and knowledge compounds. AI agents support the workflow end to end, so researchers can focus on the next breakthrough instead of searching for the right spreadsheet.

Built by scientists, for scientists.

More than 15 years of bench and industry experience, plus the engineering to build something great.

Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer

Aaron S. is an experienced researcher and entrepreneur with a visionary Silicon Valley mindset. After earning his Ph.D. at UC Berkeley in Cellular and Molecular Biology, he built MeliBio, spearheading the production of honey-native enzymes through precision fermentation. As the former CTO of MeliBio, he led scientific teams and oversaw R&D and IP strategy. Following his exit, he joined Biocompile as CEO to tackle a core bottleneck in biotech: accelerating long R&D cycles and addressing the complexity of biology using AI.

A San Francisco company with European values.

Biocompile is based in San Francisco and built across the United States and Europe. The ambition and the pace of this industry are set here. The standards we set ourselves for data privacy come from Europe: your research is stored there, your data and your intellectual property stay yours, we do not train AI models on them, and you can export everything or delete your account whenever you want. Your research is yours.
