We are thrilled to announce that our portfolio company, QurieGen, has won the top prize at the RAISE Summit 2026 in Paris. Competing in the highly selective “RAISE the Stakes” pitch competition—powered by Google for Startups and Google DeepMind—QurieGen secured first place out of an initial pool of more than 1,500 AI startups from around the world.
Following a rigorous selection process that narrowed the field to the Top 100, then the Top 10, and finally the Top 3, QurieGen pitched live on the Master Stage to claim the victory.
This win serves as a monumental validation of QurieGen’s mission and technology. As a pioneering TechBio startup, the team is building AI Virtual Cell models powered by proprietary single-cell multi-omics data and a unique lab-in-the-loop platform. Their approach represents the next frontier in AI-driven drug discovery, and securing the top spot at one of Europe’s premier AI events underscores the global impact of their work.
We are incredibly proud to support the QurieGen team on this journey and look forward to their continued growth and innovation!
