Bindwell has secured $6 million in new funding to support its work developing safer pest control products using artificial intelligence (AI).

According to a press release, the round was led by General Catalyst and A Capital, with additional support from SV Angel and Paul Graham.

Before joining Y Combinator’s Winter 2025 group, the company had already received an early investment from Character Capital.

The company uses AI methods that have been effective in medical research and applies them to agriculture. Its system can assess potential pesticide candidates in seconds.

This faster approach aims to reduce the cost of creating new pest control products, which has risen from about $30 million to roughly $300 million per product over the last thirty years.

With the new funding, Bindwell plans to move forward with its first in-house pesticide, hire more AI and biology researchers, and expand its lab space in San Carlos, California. One of the founders, Tyler Rose, said:

AI is revolutionizing drug discovery. Pesticide discovery is overdue for the same transformation.

Paul Graham met with the founders before deciding to invest. He later wrote on X, "The founders of Bindwell will probably do alright. They’re smart and have a good idea".
