A 501(c)(3) nonprofit advancing botanical therapeutic discovery through computational biology, AI, and traditional knowledge validation. Built in Henderson, Nevada.
Founded in 2023, Cloak & Quill Research operates as a lean research nonprofit from Henderson, Nevada. We build AI platforms for natural therapeutic discovery and work with Indigenous and traditional knowledge communities as partners — not data sources.
Our Candid 2026 Platinum Seal of Transparency reflects our commitment to full financial accountability. 70% of any commercial revenue flows back to the traditional knowledge communities whose wisdom makes our discoveries possible.
Every recommendation traces to peer-reviewed evidence. Pharmaceutical-grade methods, applied to botanical medicine. No guesswork, no marketing claims.
Demographic bias correction ensures our predictions work across all populations. Botanical medicine should not perpetuate the inequities already embedded in clinical data.
FPIC. Community governance. 70% benefit-sharing. Traditional knowledge communities are research partners — their sovereignty over their knowledge is non-negotiable.
Findings are shared. Methods are documented. Research infrastructure is designed for public benefit, not competitive lock-in.
We are a nonprofit first. Every dollar of commercial revenue is deployed toward communities, STEM education, and the research infrastructure that serves them.
Patents filed in defensive trust. Trade secrets protect our competitive moat — not community knowledge. What belongs to communities stays with communities.
Whether you're a researcher, dispensary, community organization, or individual donor — there's a way to participate in this work.
