- Persist AI announced on May 19, 2025, in Sacramento the launch of its Cloud Lab and a $12 million Series A funding round led by Spero Ventures.
- The company developed its AI-driven platform to address prolonged drug formulation times that traditionally take years, especially for complex products like long-acting injectables.
- Persist AI combines predictive AI models with automated robotics to allow pharmaceutical clients to remotely design, build, and test hundreds of formulations via its website-based Cloud Lab.
- In a recent project, Persist AI tested 700 formulations in two months versus the industry average of 10-15 per month, achieving an optimal injectable formulation and using just 1 mL of liquid per test.
- The $12 million funding will expand robotic labs, improve AI training data, establish GMP manufacturing for injectables, and support collaborations including one with Sacramento-based Nivagen Pharmaceuticals.
