Periodic Labs is in talks to raise at a ~$7B valuation — 5x its $1.3B seed from just 6 months ago. Founded by ex-OpenAI's Liam Fedus and ex-DeepMind's Ekin Dogus Cubuk, the ~40-person startup already counts semiconductor customers generating revenue. By pairing AI scientists with autonomous robotic labs, it targets compressing decades of materials R&D into years — signaling a systemic shift in how science gets funded and scaled. 🧪🔬
