DropGenie Raises Seed+ Round to Launch Miniaturized Gene Editing Platform
DropGenie has closed its Seed+ financing round to support the commercial launch of its first gene editing product, announced in a press release. The round was led by Skeleton Key, with participation from Merck Global Health Innovation Fund, CQDM, Real Ventures, and Anges Québec.
The funding will be used to scale manufacturing, build commercial operations, and accelerate adoption among customers. DropGenie’s platform enables high throughput, miniaturized gene editing workflows that reduce the number of cells and reagents needed per experiment. This approach lowers costs and shortens editing turnaround time while allowing direct edits on primary patient cells.
The company’s technology has already been validated through an Early Access Program with major pharmaceutical, biotech, and research organizations. DropGenie’s process generates standardized, high quality gene editing data that supports data driven discovery across cell therapy and functional biology.

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.
