BenchSci's mission is to increase the speed and quality of life-saving research. The company provides AI-powered software for pharmaceutical research. Its platform empowers scientists to develop treatments faster, with fewer, more successful experiments.
"We're proud and honored to again be recognized as a Best Workplace for Startups by Great Place to Work," says Liran Belenzon, BenchSci's CEO and cofounder. "Building a company of amazing people is as important to us as providing our customers with amazing products. It's reaffirming to know that, even as we rapidly expand as a company, we have not lost sight of our dedication to our team's physical and mental wellbeing. During these trying times, with a pandemic forcing us to adapt to a fully remote work model, it's more important than ever that our people get the support they need to reach their full potential. A valuable team is one that feels valued."
BenchSci's meaningful mission and emphasis on employee health and wellness contributed to its best workplace status. Benefits at BenchSci include:
- Comprehensive annual health assessments ("executive physicals") for all employees

- Expanded time off, including birthdays off each year
The company also recently launched BenchSci Forward, a platform to drive meaningful change in the world. While the company's technology positively impacts society, Forward extends this impact by directly improving health, the environment, and social justice.
