About Us

We wanted a research platform that was modern and would work.
Pretty simple really. With the horribly restrictive caveat that it had to be a substantial and quantifiable improvement over just using google sheets.

We've worked in wet labs, data science, machine learning, policy, and management; we know that for modern research teams leveraging multiple disciplines, it's a very large Venn diagram with a small window of overlap that results in productivity and team happiness. After several well-timed exits and career transitions, finding our ideal startup team, and about 2 years of development, we built the platform we wish was on the market in our prior positions.

Starting a new company is a strange thing, especially in a domain in which there are already solutions -- and when we so often felt like google sheets outsized every other offering in terms of value per cost. In the landscape of options, we hope that we stand out for our "bar none" research excellence approach, features that optimize small teams, and use of science to build our platform. "If it's for science, it better have some science in it" is a common phrase around the office. Admittedly, using science to improve scientific practice is ridiculous. But we are hopeful that there are other teams out there excited to leverage a platform that helps them do their best work.
