About Unlearn
At Unlearn, our purpose is to advance artificial intelligence (AI) to eliminate trial and error in medicine. We are innovating advanced machine learning methods to leverage generative AI in forecasting patient outcomes, starting with the domain of clinical trials. We produce AI-generated digital twins of individual trial participants, enabling smaller and more efficient clinical trials to bring effective medicines to patients sooner.
Unlearn is a technology company, not a biotech company. We use computers, not pipettes. We make and use software—we don’t discover or manufacture drugs. Our team believes AI will define the future of medicine, and we aren’t deterred by skeptics.
Founded in 2017, we’re headquartered in San Francisco and backed by leading investors such as Altimeter, Insight Partners, Radical Ventures, 8VC, DCVC, and DCVC Bio. We recently completed our $50 million Series C in January 2024.
