InSilicoTrials, a health tech company developing simulation-based solutions for drug development, announced its acceptance into the Microsoft for Startups Pegasus Program, an, invitation-only initiative within Microsoft for Startups, designed to accelerate the growth of high-potential startups. This milestone marks a significant step in InSilicoTrials’ mission to modernize healthcare R&D through AI and in silico simulation technologies.
The Microsoft for Startups Pegasus Program connects growth-stage startups with Microsoft’s global sales channels and enterprise customer network. The program is designed for startups with demonstrated product-market fit and the ability to scale in sectors such as AI, healthcare, cybersecurity, and retail.
As part of the Microsoft for Startups Pegasus Program, InSilicoTrials will use Microsoft Azure’s cloud infrastructure and AI capabilities to further develop its digital simulation platform. This platform supports pharmaceutical and biotech companies, as well as researchers, in accelerating R&D, optimizing clinical trial designs, and reducing dependence on traditional clinical studies. InSilicoTrials’ technology includes digital twin and virtual patient models, AI-based simulations, and privacy-preserving synthetic patient populations—tools designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of drug development.
