Product Manager (Seoul)

■ Company Overview

Cheiron just raised an $8 million seed round led by Menlo Ventures to build the operating system for drug programs.

In July 2026, Cheiron announced an $8 million seed round led by Menlo Ventures, bringing total funding to $13 million to date, with the backing and strategic support of industry veterans including Moderna co-founder and MIT Institute Professor Robert Langer, former Pfizer Chief Medical Officer Freda Lewis-Hall, Chai Discovery co-founder and CEO Josh Meier, former Starbucks CEO Laxman Narasimhan, and former Apple AI chief John Giannandrea.

Cheiron is building the first AI-native operating system designed to represent an entire drug program as a single connected system. The company's platform helps biopharma teams represent, reason over, and stress-test the full state of a drug development program — including the claims, evidence, assumptions, risks, decisions, and commitments that determine whether a therapy advances.

At the center of the platform is Cheiron's proprietary Life Sciences Knowledge Graph (LKG), connecting the world's biomedical, clinical, regulatory, patent, and commercial knowledge into a single model built for the inferences drug developers make every day. In less than six months since launch, Cheiron has been adopted by tens of thousands of biopharma professionals and deployed by major drug developers, and is already used by 7 of Korea's top 10 biopharma companies.

Founded in 2024 by Stanford-trained AI researchers and biopharma operators, Cheiron is headquartered in Los Altos, California.
