PM 360 Recognizes POLARISqb as a 2020 Innovative Startup

PM 360 is one of the leading magazines in the pharmaceutical marketing world, with an audience of marketing decision makers in the pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device industries. Published monthly, the magazine focuses on leadership as well as, "issues that directly impact critical decision making,including: planning and implementation of cutting edge strategies, trends, the latest technological advances," in their writing.

This year, POLARISqb was honored to be one of eight companies that were named "Innovative Startups" by the magazine, along with Evozyne, Steady Shot, ImmunAI, Exocel, wePool, Conversation Health and Theraneutrics. These companies are working with some of the most advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, and synthetic biotech to address medical issues from diabetes to COVID-19, but POLARISqb stands alone as the sole quantum application selected to the list. Having developed a quantum application for designing drugs, we continue to pursue a vastly greater understanding of our chemical universe, identifying molecules that will become treatments and cures for all diseases for all people. Advancements in quantum computers technology continue to speed our work towards a quantum-based platform that provides chemical simulations at many times the speed of current traditional systems.

We are proud to be recognized for our work and innovation in drug discovery for biopharma applications by one of the leading publications on pharmaceutical marketing, a list that has in the past included companies such as H1 who went on to raise over $71M in capital funding and OM1 who raised over $86M, and Sema4 which raised over $240M. POLARISqb looks to be the next in their line of success, and the first quantum alumni of the list to revolutionize the world of biotech and pharmaceuticals.

POLARISqb Named One of Seven Pharma Startups to Watch in 2021 by Startus Insights

StartUs Insights, a leading research and consulting group focused on the global startup market, has named POLARISqb one of their "7 Pharma Startups You Should Watch in 2021." StartUs Insights, which works with major international corporations such as Nestle, Lufthansa, and Pharmapack, researches the most promising startup companies from across a wide variety of industries including pharmaceuticals, transportation, healthcare, and logistics

2020 has brought significant challenges in the pharmaceutical sector, and StartUs Insights recognized POLARISqb along with companies that develop novel treatment such as ANA Therapeutics and MRM Health and companies working to develop vaccines and testing such as Ancora.AI and Pulmobiotics. In describing the company, StartUs cited our work that, "combines quantum computing and AI to search through large and unstructured medical datasets,"  as well as recognizing the ability of our software to filter for drug toxicity and other ADMET characteristics of various potential treatment molecules. As we continue to develop our platform to utilize the most advanced quantum computing resources available, our ability to use this technology to target specific proteins and diseases is making the drug discovery process more efficient and accurate.

We are glad to be recognized by StartUs Insights as a leader in the world of quantum drug discovery, as we proceed in our development of tools that will revolutionize the costs and timeframe associated with the development of new drugs and treatments. These technologies will provide greater opportunity for us to achieve the goal set forth in our company motto, to create drug blueprints to treat and cure all diseases for all people.
