Osmo is a technology company founded in 2022 with the mission of giving computers a sense of smell. Its core offering is an Olfactory Intelligence platform that combines molecular mapping, machine learning, and human artistry to digitally read, map, and reproduce scents. The company's research foundation includes five years of work conducted at Google Research.
The company's technical work spans olfactory neuroscience, machine learning, molecular mapping, and analytical chemistry. Its team brings together expertise from these fields alongside perfumery. A key demonstration of its capabilities was the first successful digital capture and re-synthesis of a naturally occurring smell, specifically that of a plum.
Osmo's product suite includes the Olfactory Intelligence platform and the Forge platform, an AI-driven tool designed for the flavor and fragrance industry to discover new fragrance ingredients. Forge is reported to discover new ingredients four times faster than traditional methods. The company secured $60 million in Series A funding.
