brightseed Brightseed built ForagerTM, nature's discovery engine
▪ Brightseed created Forager, a computational
intelligence that understands nature more
profoundly than human intelligence
• Forager is fueled by Brightseed's growing
proprietary data on the world's plants and deep
knowledge of human biology
• Forager interrogates and learns natural phenomena
with unprecedented speed and scale,
discovering natural compounds that solve unmet
human problems

[Image 1] The image is a digital graphic with a green and white color scheme. It features a logo with the text "Brightseed" in lowercase letters, followed by a tagline "Harvesting nature's intelligence" in smaller font. The logo is accompanied by a graphic of what appears to be a plant leaf with a green background. The overall style of the image suggests it is a branding or promotional graphic for a company
[Image 2] The image appears to be a digital graphic or an infographic with a nature-themed background. It contains text and a circular graphic. The text at the top reads "Nature has always held the solution" and below it, "10,000,000" with a subtitle that says "more than 99% of plant compounds have yet to be discovered." The graphic is a circular diagram with a green leaf at the center, surrounded by a ring
[Image 3] The image appears to be a slide from a presentation, with a purple background and text in white. The slide is titled "Magellan, our first discovery boosts metabolism." Below the title, there are bullet points that list the benefits of Magellan, which is presumably a product or substance being discussed. The text mentions that Magellan is a breakthrough in metabolism, that it is clinically proven t
[Image 4] The image appears to be a slide from a presentation, with a background that features a dense forest or jungle setting. The slide contains text that discusses the importance of developing forces in the ecosystem. The text mentions that consumers won't feed products to be unhealthy, and that plants are a waste and still unexploited source of solutions for natural problems. The slide also includes a
