InFLOWS

InFLOWS AI is a Paris-based AI company founded in 2021 that builds computational chemistry toolboxes to accelerate and green the R&D workflows of industrial chemists. The platform applies proprietary Chemical Language Modeling to help formulators in the cosmetics, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries design safer and more sustainable products up to 10 times faster than conventional lab-based approaches. The product suite includes FitFLOW (ingredient-product affinity, safety, and function evaluation), SwapFLOW (AI-powered identification of greener and better-performing alternative compounds), DesignFLOW (AI-driven recipe design that simultaneously optimizes for performance, cost, and regulatory compliance), and MetaFLOWS (meta-dimensional analysis for broader business transformation). InFLOWS serves R&D chemists at consumer goods manufacturers and operates at the intersection of AI, green chemistry, and sustainability. The company raised an initial pre-seed round of $120,000 from Techstars in September 2021 and has received additional backing from Berkeley SkyDeck, Berkeley SkyDeck Fund, and The Heritage Group.
