Benchling, Inc. develops and distributes laboratory informatics software solutions for the life science industry.

History

Benchling, Inc. was formally founded in November 2014[1] with the original goal of making DNA editing software but long-term ambitions to make "an app store for life sciences."[2]

Benchling announced in June 2018 that it had wrapped up $14.5 million in Series B investor funding, adding to its $12.9M Series A funding from 2012. With the Series B money, the company planned to hire more people, increase product development, and attract more academic users.[3] In the fall of 2019, the company announced it had obtained an additional $34.5 million in Series C investor funding in order to extend its global reach and expand commercial relationships to get products to market more quickly.[4]

In January 2020, the company launched its Benchling for Lab Automation, a centralized cloud-based solution for automating experiments and other processes through interfacing hardware and software over the cloud.[5]

On April 14, 2021, the company completed its Series E funding, raising $200 million, led by Sequoia Capital Global Equities, which brought total funding to $350 million.[6][7] After the funding, it was reported that Benchling had hit a valuation of $4 billion, with anticipation of eventually going IPO.[7]

The Enterprise addition adds features such as custom roles and permissions and workflow management.[10]

Benchling for Lab Automation is a cloud-based laboratory informatics platform that integrates software and hardware to improve automation and data handling of "liquid handlers, plate readers, imaging instruments, chromatography systems, and more."[11]
