description: >-
  Formation Bio (formerly TrialSpark, founded 2016 in New York City) is a
  tech-driven, AI-native pharmaceutical company that aims to bring new treatments
  to patients faster and more efficiently. Rather than discovering drugs, Formation
  Bio in-licenses and acquires clinical-stage drug assets from pharma companies,
  universities, and biotech firms, then develops them using proprietary technology
  platforms, process automation, and large language models applied across the drug
  development lifecycle — patient recruitment, e-consent, data management,
  monitoring, and biostatistics. The company rebranded from TrialSpark to Formation
  Bio in 2023 as it moved from a pure clinical-trial software platform to combined
  platform-plus-asset ownership. It raised a $372M Series D in 2024 and announced a
  first-in-class AI collaboration with Sanofi and OpenAI. Formation Bio operates
  hybrid teams across New York City, Boston, the San Francisco Bay Area, and North
  Carolina's Research Triangle. It is a private company with no public developer
  API program; this profile captures its identity and public web surface for the
  API Evangelist network.
