Alchemy

Alchemy is a Y Combinator-backed company that aI-powered image analysis for life sciences. Based in San Francisco, USA, the company participated in the Spring 2026 batch of Y Combinator.

Alchemy automates image analysis for life science researchers who spend hours every day turning images into useful numerical data, often manually. Through a combination of our customized pipeline tailored to the researcher's needs and our suite of ML models, we've helped labs reduce analysis time by over 90%, while enabling analyses that were previously impossible.

Alchemy was part of Y Combinator's Spring 2026 cohort, has a team of approximately 2 employees, and is actively operating.
