Earli is a BioAI therapeutics firm in Redwood City, California that programs cancer to turn against itself. Cancer cells become hyperlocal factories for potent immune therapies that are otherwise too toxic to be used systemically. Earli AI-designs synthetic genetic switches that are intravenously injected but ONLY activate in cancer cells, using non-integrating DNA in a stealth LNP. Once activated, they force the cancer cells to produce encoded proteins – T cell engagers, cytokines, agonists – that activate the immune system to kill the cancer. The hyperlocal activation avoids on-target/off-tumor effects and drives up the therapeutic index. Instead of focusing on where the drug goes, Earli changes where the drug is produced.

What We Do
Earli mission is to make cancer a benign experience. Rather than rely on biomarkers that cancer may - or often may not - naturally provide, Earli's technology *forces* cancer cells to make a synthetic, non-human biomarker using gene therapy approaches. It's called a Synthetic Biopsy. It can then localize the cancer in a PET scanner. Earli has been funded by Andreessen Horowitz's Bio Fund, Khosla, Perceptive Advisors, Casdin Capital, Sands Capital, Marc Benioff, Menlo Ventures, ZhenFund. Earli is based in the West Coast’s prime biotech hub in South San Francisco.
