Bindwell, the agriculture-tech company using AI to accelerate pesticide discovery, today announced a $6M seed round co-led by General Catalyst and A Capital, with participation from SV Angel and Y Combinator founder Paul Graham. The company previously raised a pre-seed from Character Capital before entering Y Combinator's Winter 2025 batch. With AI models that are 4x faster than DeepMind’s AlphaFold and can analyze billions of molecules, Bindwell tackles a key challenge for the global agriculture industry: consistent crop loss rates despite increasing pesticide use.
