Founded in 2014, Faculty is one of Europe’s leading applied AI companies. Our suite of AI services and products helps organisations design, build, and deploy high-performing AI solutions that deliver measurable impact for their frontline teams. Faculty is also the developer of Faculty Frontier™, a Decision Intelligence platform used by leading pharmaceutical companies to transform decision-making at scale.

Widely recognised as a leader in AI safety, we work closely with the world’s top AI labs, such as OpenAI and Anthropic, to ensure their latest models are safe, human-led, and explainable. Our expertise spans advising Boards, leadership teams, and governments on AI strategy; delivering AI systems that improve critical public services and business outcomes; and equipping organisations with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in the AI era.

Our PhD-heavy team has delivered hundreds of real-world AI projects across every sector of the economy. Headquartered in London, Faculty remains founder-led and has raised over £40m from investors including The Apax Digital Fund, LocalGlobe, and GMG Ventures.

Matterworks

Website: https://www.matterworks.ai/

Matterworks is unlocking predictive biology through an AI-powered platform that immediately uncovers actionable discoveries hidden in LC-MS raw data. Our Large Spectral Model (LSM) has been trained on billions of proprietary raw LC-MS spectra across diverse applications. Built on this foundation, the Pyxis query system leverages the LSM to rapidly identify biomolecules without disparate, time-consuming, and laborious downstream processes. 

Available in application-specific configurations, Pyxis transforms conventional manual processing into immediate AI-driven results, expanding the breadth and speed of biomarker discovery, upstream bioprocess optimization, and downstream process development.

Matterworks brings together expertise in AI, software engineering, and analytical chemistry to bridge the gap between raw data and phenotypic endpoints hidden in the dark matter. By developing our AI-powered platform for rapid biomolecule discovery, identification, and concentration determination, we are creating the new standard for researchers, data scientists, and industry leaders to uncover previously unattainable insights and accelerate decision-making across discovery and development.
