Alchemy

What Alchemy does

Alchemy Cloud, Inc. is a San Francisco-based enterprise SaaS company, founded in 2017, that provides a unified Product Development Platform for applied-science companies — primarily formulators in specialty chemicals, coatings, adhesives, food and beverage, beauty, plastics, building materials, and energy. The platform consolidates four traditionally siloed systems — Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN), Lab Information Management System (LIMS), Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), and Scientific AI — into a single cloud-based product used by R&D chemists, product developers, quality-control teams, and technical service functions.

The platform is architected to capture structured, AI-ready data at every step of formulation, testing, and production workflows, then feed that proprietary data into in-house scientific AI models. These models provide real-time formulation recommendations, predictive property estimation, Design-of-Experiments optimization, and adaptive experimentation. Native integrations span Salesforce and Dynamics CRM, SAP, Oracle, and Deacom ERP, Power BI and Tableau, instrument-level data capture, and SSO providers (Okta, Google, Microsoft), positioning Alchemy as a connective layer between the lab and commercial systems.

The company operates a direct enterprise sales model with quote-based subscription pricing governed by Order Forms. Pricing is not publicly disclosed but follows annual billing with SLA-backed 99.5% uptime commitments. Alchemy serves approximately 40+ named enterprise customers including IMCD, Milliken, RPM, Borchers, Vibrantz, DCL, Arxada, and Lyten. To date the company has raised roughly $11.66M across four funding rounds (2018–2022), holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certifications, and appointed ex-AWS AI/cloud leader Bill Platt as COO in October 2025 to support scaling.

Broad incumbents

• Agilent Technologies (OpenLab):
• BIOVIA (Dassault Systèmes): BIOVIA provides the broadest suite of scientific informatics solutions (ELN, LIMS, materials modeling, PLM) inside Dassault's 3DEXPERIENCE platform — a deep-pocketed incumbent that overlaps with Alchemy across formulation, lab data, and product lifecycle for chemicals customers.
• Thermo Fisher Scientific (SampleManager / Chromeleon): Thermo Fisher's SampleManager LIMS and Chromeleon CDS target the same enterprise lab customers Alchemy serves in chemicals, pharma, and manufacturing, with the credibility and instrument integration of a global life-sciences incumbent.

Direct peers

• LabVantage Solutions: LabVantage provides an enterprise LIMS platform widely deployed in chemicals, manufacturing, and applied science labs — directly competing with Alchemy's LIMS and ELN modules for the same enterprise formulation and QC use cases.
• Dotmatics (Revvity): Dotmatics offers an end-to-end scientific R&D platform (ELN, LIMS, data management, screening) for chemistry and materials science customers, now part of Revvity — directly comparable to Alchemy's unified ELN+LIMS+PLM+AI positioning in applied sciences.
• Sapio Sciences: Sapio provides a unified, cloud-based ELN, LIMS, and scientific data management platform for labs across chemistry, biology, and manufacturing — a direct competitor to Alchemy's integrated platform for applied science customers.
