Tim Draper presents Basepair, a no-code platform that turns raw genomic data into insights in minutes. Genomics costs have plummeted while data volumes explode, creating a roughly $10 billion market opportunity for tools that let scientists skip the coding bottleneck.

We develop data analysis software for genomics data. The application of AI that we found most meaningful was in the medical domain. The data is messy, but it is so impactful. I worked in Harvard Medical School in a cancer research lab using genomics. In the red line, we saw the exponential decrease in the price of genomics, making it more accessible than ever. But in the green line, we see an exponential increase in the amount of data, and this is now the bottleneck. So many possible discoveries, insights are all stopped by this massive data that we cannot make sense of. This represents a $10 billion market opportunity ready for disruption. So we created a data analysis platform so easy to use that any scientist can run complex analyses without any coding. They can go from raw data to insight within a few minutes. This is a truly transformational product, and we are democratizing genomics and unlocking all the power.
