Emerging42% confidenceProfile verified Jul 22, 2026

A Cambridge-based AI materials discovery startup that launched the AI Materials Foundry in July 2026, a global network of more than 45 collaborating organizations able to screen roughly 300 trillion molecular structures within six months, compressing materials R&D timelines from decades to months. CuspAI raised a $450 million Series B at a $2.6 billion valuation, led by Kleiner Perkins and NEA with a significant contribution from Bezos Expeditions, following an earlier raise that brought the company near unicorn status.
