{"id":87668,"title":"Delineate - Information Overload to Insights in Biopharma","tagline":"Extract meaningful data from biopharma research and patents at scale","body":"![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=87668\u0026key=user_uploads/1994202/81ed81f4-b8e2-4a07-b7c7-70d09ac5b497)\n\n### **TLDR**\n\n* Delineate extracts and analyzes data from biopharma research papers and patents at scale, including data trapped in figures and plots.\n* We are partnered with two top-10 pharma companies where we are performing some of the largest systematic-review studies ever conducted.\n* For our clients we have increased the number of processed studies by 15x compared to industry standard and reduced the time for certain studies from months to weeks.\n\n### **Problem**\n\n90% of drug candidates fail despite billions in pharmaceutical R\u0026D. Making evidence based decisions is crucial to the success of $2B drug pipelines. However to aggregate evidence across hundreds of research papers and patents can take research scientists months of hard labor.\n\n### **Solution**\n\nDelineate has developed custom LLM and computer vision models paired with rigorous QC processes to deliver extremely high quality datasets in a fraction of the time. By increasing the scale and speed for evidence aggregation, Delineate is transforming how pharmaceutical companies make evidence based development decisions.\n\n### **Demo:**\n\n[**Here is a quick demo of our platform and a sample project:**](https://www.loom.com/share/66a1878825f14eabaeee7f5cf948c9a1?sid=55675f9b-2d71-40d2-afc3-4be5351fc80f)\n\n### **Ask:**\n\n* Any introductions to biopharma companies that perform meta-analyses and/or computational analysis workflows.\n* If any biopharma-focused YC companies need assistance, we're happy to help!\n\n# About Us:\n\nled by [**Emily Nieves**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/emily-nieves-a67b90144/) (MIT PhD, former Pfizer/AstraZeneca computational researcher) and [**Jawad Iqbal**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jawad-iqbal/) (ex-Lockheed Skunkworks AI lead)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=87668\u0026key=user_uploads/1994202/20a27c7b-6a42-4af4-953a-2a6d9883c8a8)\n\n","slug":"Mo0-delineate-information-overload-to-insights-in-biopharma","created_at":"2025-02-13T20:40:24.989Z","updated_at":"2026-05-24T20:29:16.340Z","total_vote_count":14,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Mo0-delineate-information-overload-to-insights-in-biopharma","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=87668\u0026key=user_uploads/1994202/81ed81f4-b8e2-4a07-b7c7-70d09ac5b497","company":{"id":29988,"name":"Delineate","slug":"delineate","url":"https://delineate.pro/","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/157ef705774b4b91cf62de3244f82d80101e257a.png","batch":"Winter 2025","industry":"B2B","tags":["SaaS","Biotech","AI"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/29988"}}
