Vecihi is a pre-seed deep-tech startup founded in Istanbul, building a physics-based platform for mutation-aware binding prediction. We are two people — a computational scientist and a software engineer — rooted in Sabancı University, where the scientific foundation of this platform was developed over close to a decade of hands-on work in FEP and molecular dynamics. Prof. Canan Atılgan, one of the leading figures in computational biophysics, sits on our advisory board and has been central to that work.

Our research has appeared in peer-reviewed publications, and that habit — stay close to the physics, make the numbers decision-worthy — carries directly into everything we build.

We are currently developing our MVP, supported by a MareNostrum HPC grant. Our beachhead is agrochemical R&D, where mutational resistance is both well-documented and computationally underserved. We are building our first external case studies with university research groups, and we are open for paid-pilot candidates starting October 1, 2026.

We stay small on purpose. Close to the physics, close to the science, accountable for every number we put in front of you.
