Forager®

Brightseed’s Discovery Platform

Forager® is the world’s first and only artificial intelligence to map millions of bioactive natural compounds and make new connections between the natural world and human health. Forager has analyzed over 700,000 compounds for their health properties and is on track to surpass 10 million by 2025. Our science team leverages the most advanced computational biology and plant processing techniques to develop “molecular signatures” of all of the plants in the edible and medicinal plant kingdom.

Brightseed’s Discovery Pipeline

Brightseed’s first discovery promotes a healthy metabolism by supporting the health of the liver. The liver is the body’s primary metabolic organ and a healthy liver helps avoid metabolic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Although there are many risk factors for developing NAFLD, the disease is closely linked to obesity, which afflicts more than 40% of the U.S. adult population. There are no approved therapeutics to treat this major health condition.
