James Sinka
Unicorn founder, YC W19, and trained chemist.
Invented new science and commercialized research across biotech, materials science, and ML through several deep-tech ventures.
Previously built a deep-tech fellowship supported by founders of Varda, Astranis, and Solugen, which attracted talent from OpenAI, DeepMind, and SpaceX.
Berk Ozer
2x founder (YC S21) who shipped AI agents used by millions even before ChatGPT existed.
Previously led venture at a fund and accelerator, investing in 150+ startups that raised $100M+ in follow-on funding.
Former management consultant who advised Fortune 500 clients on AI strategy and transformation, and multimillion-dollar technology decisions.
Reactorfield is a public good to accelerate science with AI.
We aim to make scientific breakthroughs happen decades early.
Reactorfield is a public goods program built to accelerate science. We help people in science and deep tech turn AI’s growing capabilities into scientific progress.
The gap between what AI can do for research and how researchers actually use it is widening. Reactorfield exists to close that gap and put powerful new tools to work on consequential problems.
Science is the most important thing we can accelerate. It gives us the power to treat disease, produce abundant energy, and build what was previously impossible. AI creates an extraordinary opportunity to advance that work.
Reactorfield is free to participate in and funded philanthropically. Fulcrum Science generously funded Cohort 1.
For centuries, science has moved at the speed of human bandwidth: how many papers one person can read, how many hypotheses one mind can hold, how many experiments one team can run.
That speed limit is breaking. AI has started solving problems that stood for generations. Science is next, and we built Reactorfield to lead it.
A field accelerates whatever passes through it. So we back moonshots over safe bets, choose scientists by the size of their ambition rather than their budget, and build beside them until the results hold up in the lab.
Tuxedo Park once brought Einstein, Bohr, and Fermi to one house. We’re building that house for AI-native science. Delivering breakthroughs decades early.
