Manifold AI: Getting Therapies to Patients Faster | AWS Startups

In this episode of Napkin to MVP, the founder and CEO of Manifold AI Vinay Seth Mohta, shares a mission that started as a personal one — and grew into an agentic platform and infrastructure for life sciences companies racing to move therapies from discovery to development to patients. It's the unpolished story of going from an idea on a napkin to 300+ researchers answering questions with agentic capabilities, including a UVA Comprehensive Cancer Center workflow taken from 17 weeks and eight staff down to five minutes and zero staff. Along the way, the team faced the classic founder question: when to build and when to partner. Working closely with AWS, Manifold moved fast to market, building on AWS services where it made sense and focusing their own effort on the Manifold-specific pieces that only they could create. This is what building with AI on AWS looks like for startups: agents that unlock the value hidden in data, accelerate the grunt work of life sciences, and help a whole ecosystem innovate faster. Why stop at 300 researchers when it could be 3,000 or 30,000? AWS gives founders the AI, compute, and infrastructure to go from idea to impact faster. Napkin to MVP is a founder-led series from AWS Startups showcasing how early-stage teams build from a first idea to a real product with AI on AWS. Subscribe for more founder stories.
