The software has been used in undergraduate and graduate classes in Boston, including one at MIT.

Rowan, a Boston, MA-based company building molecular design and simulation tools for scientists, raised $2.1M in Pre-Seed funding.

Two brothers and a friend founded the company to provide quantum mechanics–based services for novel drug discovery.

Molecular simulation is in a tough situation. Instead of relying on physical equations for our simulation, perhaps we can approximate them using black-box models.

"Our focus is on creating tools that scientists will find indispensable," says Rowan co-founder Corin Wagen.

Rowan ... [is] positioning itself in the legacy of America's great applied R&D labs to foster real-world applications of scientific breakthroughs.
