Koniku

Koniku is a pioneering neurotechnology company that merges synthetic neurobiology with silicon to build biological computing devices — sometimes described as 'smell cyborgs.' The company develops neurotechnology hardware that harnesses living neurons to process information in ways that silicon chips cannot replicate, targeting applications in explosive and drug detection, healthcare diagnostics, and biosecurity. Founded by Oshiorenoya Agabi, Koniku's core thesis is that neurons (carbon-based) offer inherently superior computing characteristics versus transistors — adaptive architecture, fault tolerance, and stable power consumption under load — making biological computing the next frontier beyond silicon.
