The Problem: Data Gap in Biology

The field of biology is plagued by a data gap, where much of the existing data is outdated, unstructured, and inconsistent. This has hindered the development of effective AI models that can accurately predict complex biological phenomena. Basecamp Research is tackling this problem by gathering primary data first-hand, often through extensive fieldwork. The startup's team travels the world, collecting data on hot springs, volcanoes, and other natural phenomena to build its massive language models.
