We’re thrilled to share that Basecamp Research has been named to Fast Company’s 2025 World’s Most Innovative Companies list! ?? Fast Company’s annual look at the most groundbreaking companies in every industry and across the globe offers a snapshot of innovation today. We're honored to be included alongside our partners such as NVIDIA, Microsoft, Amazon. Less than 1% of Earth’s genetic biodiversity has been recorded—but we’re changing that. Through 125+ research expeditions across five continents, Basecamp Research has built the world’s largest genomic biodiversity database, integrating genetic sequences and protein data from microbes collected in some of the planet’s most extreme and remote ecosystems—volcanic vents, caves, oceans, jungles, and beyond. Our AI-driven platform doesn’t just catalog this diversity; it provides full environmental context, including temperature and pH to give our AI an unprecedented understanding of nature's complexity so it can design novel proteins for pharmaceuticals, materials science, consumer goods, and more. With partnerships three of the top pharma companies, P&G, Earthshot Prize finalist Colorifix, Johnson Matthey, and others, we’re pioneering a new era of fair and transparent bioprospecting—ensuring that the communities contributing to this knowledge receive royalties starting from the R&D phase. A huge thank you to our incredible team, partners, and the wider scientific community who support our mission. We’re just getting started, and we can’t wait to push the boundaries of what’s possible. #FCMostInnovative #Biodiversity #Biotech #AI
