Pinterest is an American visual discovery platform founded in 2010 where people save and organise images, products and ideas into themed boards. Unlike feed-based social networks it is built around planning future intent, so users arrive researching a kitchen renovation, an outfit or a holiday rather than to follow friends, which makes the audience unusually valuable to advertisers. Headquartered in San Francisco and listed on the New York Stock Exchange since 2019, the company earns nearly all of its revenue from advertising and has invested heavily in shoppable pins, visual search and AI-driven recommendations.

Lila Sciences is an American company launched publicly in 2025 out of Flagship Pioneering with the aim of building what it calls scientific superintelligence: artificial intelligence systems that generate hypotheses and then test them in the company's own automated laboratories. Its distinguishing feature is the closed loop between model and experiment, since most scientific machine learning is limited by the fact that the data it needs has never been generated. Headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts and funded at an unusually large scale for a company at this stage, it is working across life sciences and materials chemistry rather than committing to a single field.
