Joseph F. Krause Biography

Joseph F. Krause is a materials scientist, entrepreneur, and U.S. Army National Guard veteran known as the co-founder and CEO of Radical AI, a New York-based deep-tech startup. Radical AI utilizes artificial intelligence, molecular quantum mechanics, and self-driving laboratories to accelerate materials discovery and transform traditional research and development processes. Krause and his team focus on developing novel materials, positioning Radical AI at the forefront of materials science innovation.

Krause's background includes military service, academic achievement, and experience in venture capital. As a U.S. Army National Guard veteran, he completed basic combat training and CBRN defense school. Transitioning to academia, Krause earned multiple Dean's List honors at Virginia Tech College of Science and completed an entrepreneurship bootcamp at Rice University, where he contributed to research on nanomaterials, including a publication on silver nanoplates. He later conducted neuromorphic semiconductor research at the Army DEVCOM research lab and led deep tech investments at AlleyCorp before founding Radical AI. While in a PhD program and serving as a fellow at the U.S. Army Research Lab, Krause contacted 100 venture capitalists in New York regarding materials science investment, leading to an internship opportunity with Kevin Ryan at AlleyCorp.

The concept for Radical AI emerged while Krause and co-founder Jorge Colindres were evaluating AI pitches at AlleyCorp. Frustrated by the lack of focus on significant scientific challenges, Krause envisioned a company that would accelerate the materials discovery process using AI agents capable of indexing millions of publications and operating significantly faster than human scientists. Radical AI operates from a laboratory in Brooklyn's Navy Yard, developing a unified scientific intelligence platform that autonomously discovers, designs, and manufactures advanced materials.

Radical AI has secured $55 million in a seed-plus funding round, with investors including RTX Ventures, Alumni Ventures, Khosla Ventures, Liquid 2 Ventures, AlleyCorp, Eni, Infinite Capital, and NVIDIA NVentures. Krause emphasizes that the company's competitive advantage lies in its interdisciplinary team of scientists who conduct experiments, capture results, and build AI systems for analysis, rather than solely relying on automation or robotics.

Krause has been recognized on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Science list and is a frequent speaker on deep tech and AI-driven scientific discovery. He has appeared at the Fast Company Innovation Festival to discuss advancements in materials science, the role of AI in developing new alloys, and the materials required for nuclear fusion. Krause also addresses topics such as the transition from serial to parallel discovery, the impact of open-source tools on global scientific participation, and the policy frameworks influencing AI-native research programs.
