Summary
$7 billion is Periodic Labs' reported valuation as of March, up more than fivefold from its $1.3 billion level in September 2025 and pushing the young startup near decacorn status.
The company, founded last year by former DeepMind researcher Ekin Doğuş Çubuk and former OpenAI executive Liam Fedus, uses AI and automated robotics labs to speed materials science research.
$300 million in seed funding helped propel that rise, making Periodic Labs one of the standout Turkish-founded AI success stories alongside fal.ai, which reached a $4.5 billion valuation after a $140 million Series D.
The jump reflects a broader funding pattern in AI: startups.watch says deal counts fell globally in 2025 even as total funding hit a record, with investors concentrating larger bets on likely market leaders.
