HotHouse Therapeutics is rewriting the future of drug discovery with BotanAI and BotanBio - our AI and plant bioengineering platforms that design and make molecules labs can’t reach.
By transforming plants into sustainable biofactories, we unlock vast new chemical space, creating next-generation vaccine adjuvants and breakthrough therapeutics in days, not years.
The urgency is clear: 62% of today’s medicines are natural or nature-inspired, yet conventional chemistry is slow, expensive, and environmentally harmful. As a sustainable biotech, our approach is different. Because our medicines grow in plants, they scale through vertical farming, are carbon-positive by design, and avoid destructive extraction.
With deep expertise in plant science, chemistry, and AI, we’re building not just a pipeline, but a platform - delivering next-generation medicines that are greener, faster, and smarter.
