When most startups raise their Series A, they’re just getting out of the garage. Uncountable? They’ve already built the racetrack, tuned the engine, and started handing out lap times to Fortune 500.
Founded in 2016 by a trio that reads like a power draft, MIT’s Noel Hollingsworth (CEO), Stanford’s Jason Hirshman (CTO), and MIT alum-turned-Apple product whisperer Will Tashman (CRO), Uncountable didn’t stumble onto a problem, they hunted it down. The trio saw a trillion-dollar blind spot in industrial R&D: fragmented data, legacy systems pieced together, and a workforce suffocating under inefficiency. Their answer? A cloud native R&D platform built not for yesterday’s labs, but tomorrow’s breakthroughs.
$27 million says they’re onto something. Sageview Capital led the Series A with SE Ventures, Teamworthy, 8VC, and MK Capital doubling down. That number isn’t just a check, it’s a vote of confidence in Uncountable’s mission to unify experimental data, accelerate development cycles, and throw some real AI under the hood of lab work. Not the buzzword kind. The kind that actually helps scientists shave six months off timelines, not six minutes off their calendar invites.
From an MIT basketball court to a Sunnyvale apartment to 415 Brannan Street in San Francisco, and a co-headquarters in New York, Uncountable has become the nerve center of industrial R&D. Over 120 enterprise customers across 50+ countries, names like Sika, Beiersdorf, Mondelez, and Clariant, have already plugged in. And when you’re helping teams at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Natural Fiber Welding run cleaner, faster, and smarter R&D, that’s not traction. That’s impact.
With SOC 2 and ISO 27001 in the bag and compliance creds deep enough for FDA 21 CFR 11 and GMP, this isn’t a startup cutting corners. It’s one setting the standard. From pharma to food science, Uncountable is engineering a new rhythm for how innovation gets done, one experiment, one insight, one unified system at a time.
And let’s talk growth. Revenue? Estimated at $13.1M. Headcount? 90 and rising, spread across three continents. The product? A unified laboratory informatics platform that blends ELN, LIMS, workflow automation, and machine learning into something… well, uncountable. Because the future of R&D isn’t in a notebook. It’s in a platform that knows what you need before you even ask.
Big congratulations to Noel Hollingsworth, Jason Hirshman, and Will Tashman. This Series A isn’t a launch. It’s a checkpoint in a race Uncountable’s already been leading. And now, with Sageview and SE Ventures riding shotgun, the next lap? Faster, smarter, and just getting started.
