Chloe Sow is Co-Founder of Infera (YC P26), an AI-native lab operating system that lets researchers control scientific instruments using natural language, closing the gap between science and instrumentation.

Chloe studied Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science at Harvard, and was recognized as a Regeneron STS Scholar for building a microfluidic device that detects harmful chemicals in household products.

A hands-on builder since before college, Chloe brings rare depth from conducting research at Fred Hutch, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and Pacific Northwest National Lab.

At Infera, Chloe co-leads development of an AI-native compiler for the lab that translates plain-English experiment descriptions into validated, instrument-ready protocols across existing lab equipment.

Infera is backed by Y Combinator (P26) and is actively running pilots with Boston-area academic labs and cores, targeting the critical gap where lab software has failed to keep pace with cutting-edge instrumentation.
