Convoke Secures $8.6M to Develop AI Operating System for Biopharma

Aug 20, 2025
Convoke has raised $8.6 million in seed funding to advance its AI-native operating system for biopharma, aiming to streamline drug development processes.

Convoke Holdings, Inc. has raised $8.6 million in seed funding to develop its AI-native operating system for the biopharma industry, announced in a press release. The funding round was led by Kleiner Perkins and Dimension Capital, with participation from several other investors.

Convoke's platform is designed to transform raw data into actionable deliverables, helping drug developers accelerate the journey from concept to market. The system aims to reduce the time spent on manual and repetitive tasks by automating processes using language model-based systems. This approach is intended to increase efficiency and reduce the development cycle times for new drugs.

The platform serves as an "information factory" for biopharma knowledge work, enabling companies to ingest and structure data, build automations, and generate critical deliverables such as regulatory documents and competitive intelligence briefs. By automating these processes, Convoke allows biopharma teams to focus on strategic decision-making rather than manual workflows, potentially saving significant time and resources.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
