Katalyze raises $10.5M as five of the top twenty global pharma companies run its agents in production
Deviation and OOS investigations stall because the answers sit fragmented across Veeva, SAP, historians, and paper. Built with more than a hundred tenured scientists from companies including Sanofi, Pfizer, and Lilly, Katalyze grounds its agents in an Operational Data Layer, so every answer traces to a source, and deploys into existing GxP systems with no change to architecture. Customer teams have cut deviation investigations by 50%, lifted throughput 25%, and helped deliver more than 10 million doses to patients.

When you're the world's largest pharma company by market cap, it comes with its share of perks. Eli Lilly has put the pedal to the metal by accounting for nearly 25% of the industry's biotech acquisitions in the first half of the year. And Lilly isn't limiting itself to certain therapeutic areas: Chief dealmaker Jacob Van Naarden told Kyle LaHucik that it's able to "go shopping in aisles of the supermarket that are a little less populated." Read Kyle's piece here.
