floatz

floatz is an AI-driven due diligence platform designed for life science investors, systematically uncovering hidden flaws in the underlying science of assets so investors avoid catastrophic losses and invest with data-driven confidence. Founded by ETH Zürich researchers, the platform is a partner of the ETH AI Center.

Key Features

• Scientific risk assessment: Automates scientific due diligence and stress-tests the underlying science of potential investments; hunts for the single contradictory paper that could invalidate a multi-million-dollar investment; systematically screens deal flow, weeding out scientifically flawed assets before they consume hundreds of partner hours
• Investment-committee-ready analysis:
  • Executive summary: a one-page investment thesis that can withstand the toughest investment committee scrutiny
  • Feasibility score: quantified Go/No-Go signals that flag knowable fatal flaws from day one
  • Key risks: identifies the 3-5 critical uncertainties most likely to decide success or failure
  • Evidence ledger: every claim is traceable to its source, turning due diligence from a black box into data-driven confidence
• Full auditability: every red flag and opportunity links to its source in a fully auditable evidence ledger

Use Cases

Venture capital funds can avoid catastrophic losses on flawed assets and surface hidden scientific flaws before investing; pharma BD&L teams can systematically triage large volumes of inbound assets and make data-driven kill decisions, freeing the team to focus on quality assets; biotech executives can walk into their next investor meeting with unshakeable confidence, turning a doubtful "maybe" into a confident "yes" through independent third-party validation.

Unique Advantages

floatz solves the core pain point of life science investing: traditional due diligence stays at the surface and cannot systematically detect fatal flaws in the underlying science. The platform automates the scientific grunt work with AI and can find that one contradictory paper in a sea of scientific literature that could overturn the entire investment thesis. Unlike expert network calls, floatz delivers systematic, repeatable, fully auditable analysis. Founded by ETH Zürich researchers, it has solid academic roots and scientific rigor. The evidence ledger mechanism ensures every conclusion is documented, providing defensible grounds for investment decisions.
