Osmo

Osmo is an olfactory intelligence company developing the first scalable system for reading, mapping, and reproducing scent, with the company claiming the first successful digital capture and re-synthesis of a naturally occurring smell. Osmo operates under a vision to democratize scent and provides a platform combining AI-driven molecule discovery (Forge), formulation automation (Generation), and exploratory applications in security, product authentication, and public health. Backed by a $60 million Series A from Lux Capital, GV, and others, and staffed with a team spanning AI, chemistry, and perfumery, Osmo has demonstrated early validation through successful collaborations with StockX and Travertine Spa, and secured a Gates Foundation grant for DEET alternatives.
