Molecular Forecaster provides software and expertise to both small biotech firms and large pharmaceutical companies, functioning as a Contract Research Organization (CRO) or through licensed software. Their tools address inefficiencies in drug discovery by speeding up the preclinical stages, which traditionally suffer from slow processes and high failure rates. Their user-friendly predictive software allows chemists to simulate reactions, predict drug-protein interactions, and estimate drug metabolism without needing programming skills. This accessibility benefits medicinal and organic chemists by making drug discovery more efficient, reducing costs, and accelerating the development of new medicines.

“District 3 was a source of support, in terms of mentoring and coaching, and people to just bounce ideas off of. We’re still involved with MentorConnect, and I look forward to those meetings. The insights from the mentors span such a diverse set of experiences and different industries, but you see that the problems, or the challenges, are analogous.” - Josh Pottel
