🧬 News alert: We’re bringing BaseData out of stealth — the world’s largest and fastest growing biodiscovery dataset, built in collaboration with scientists across 26 countries.

🔍 BaseData adds 9.8 billion newly discovered protein sequences to the known tree of life — expanding it by over 10x beyond what public datasets currently offer.

🌍 Why does this matter? Because this biological richness will help us break through the data wall holding back Bio AI performance. We’re training biological foundation models on BaseData in partnership with @NVIDIAAI

This is a huge step forward in understanding biology and unlocking next-gen biotech.

True Partner Rohit Sharma shares how @Basecamp_Res—backed by True Ventures since inception—is accelerating AI-driven insights with @NVIDIA to build the world’s largest and most diverse biological sequence dataset: https://t.co/V5ydbb0BZg

We funded Basecamp Research from the earliest stages and have stood proudly with founders @glen_gowers and Oliver Vince. What they have built is now being recognized on the world stage, with NVIDIA selecting Basecamp as one of the UK’s most prominent AI startups in its landmark £2B investment package. Basecamp is leading the charge at the intersection of biology and AI—and redefining what’s possible.

[NVIDIA @nvidia]

Experience the UK’s next industrial revolution—where AI, powered by NVIDIA, is reshaping every industry.

From robotics and manufacturing to quantum breakthroughs and life sciences, watch how visionaries are building tomorrow’s factories of intelligence.

[NVIDIA Healthcare @NVIDIAHealth]

AI is accelerating the future of medicine.
NVIDIA is collaborating with healthcare and life sciences leaders across the UK to unlock faster, more precise drug discovery.

From Hologen’s complex human biology models and @RelationRx lab-in-the-loop experimentation, to @InSilicoUK’s digital twins and @Basecamp_Res’s expansive datasets—AI is powering breakthroughs that bring new therapies closer to patients.

The next era of healthcare starts here.

Nvidia’s CEO announced his company was funding a bunch of startups including Wayve, Revolut & Synthesia on stage in London like he was Oprah:

“Oxa, I’m going to invest in your next round”

“PolyAI, I’m going to invest in your next round”

(Also Latent Labs, Basecamp Research.)

How do you collect data at a planetary scale to understand biological superintelligence—and turn that flood of info into a foundation for AI?

We’ve been working on it at Basecamp Research—and now we’re teaming up with Microsoft & NVIDIA AI to share what we’ve learned at #SXSW2026.

Our proposed session, “Decoding Nature: How AI is Learning to Program Biology,” explores how foundation models are learning to read & write DNA—unlocking breakthroughs in health, sustainability & beyond.

If that sounds worth a spotlight at SXSW, we’d love your vote.
