History

Parallel was founded in 2021 to develop phage-based products tailored to individual skin microbiomes.[7]

At its inception, Parallel joined the Illumina Accelerator by Illumina, Inc.[8]

It had raised $2.3 million in pre-seed funding and debuted at TechCrunch Disrupt.[9] In 2022, it was noted in Fast Company’s 'World Changing Ideas' Awards.[10]

In 2024, the company published a paper in The Dermatologist on how testing the skin microbiome and applying phage therapy could successfully engineer a patient’s skin microbiome reduce inflammation and redness.[11]
