New on OpenLabs: Universum Therapeutics
@Universum_Bio is exploring how disrupting iron use could affect cancer cells and pathogens.
The teamβs research focuses on whether blocking two iron-dependent processes together could limit their growth more effectively than blocking either one alone, and whether healthy cells could tolerate the same approach.

We're building a computational platform that walks a drug-discovery program through the full early-stage journey, from "is this target worth pursuing?" to "should we advance this candidate?". Built for preclinical translation and we are excited to share our evolution.
Today marks the last day on our research progress series on @openlabsbio feel free to give us a review or upvote.

π Excited to welcome three new companies today to the LvlUp Ventures ecosystem.
Each is tackling a massive market with a unique approach and strong early validation:
π§ DOSE: AI-powered support for adults and youth with ADHD, focused on in-the-moment intervention, emotional regulation, and productivity rather than just planning tools. Early traction includes 1,300+ coaching sessions completed, 500+ waitlist signups, 90% invite-to-use conversion, and 100% retention after the first session.
π¨ Kreativio: a mobile-first platform that turns text prompts into custom 3D products, connecting AI design with a distributed manufacturing network. Before launch, they've already generated $55K+ in revenue through KreativioLab, completed 1,500+ sales across four channels, built a 450+ person waitlist, and validated both sides of the marketplace.
𧬠Universum Therapeutics: an AI-powered drug discovery platform identifying conserved biological pathways across oncology, infectious disease, and virology. The team has already screened 3,904 covalent fragments, identified 5 tier-1 candidates, and confirmed 2 dual-target hits spanning both human and pathogen biology.
Three very different companies, but all share the same qualities we look for: ambitious founders, technical differentiation, and evidence that customers or partners are already leaning in.
Weβre proud to back DOSE, Kreativio, and Universum Therapeutics and look forward to seeing them scale. π
