Connecting the R&D ecosystem around your projects

R&D value chains are complex and fragmented. Technical teams need help with the admin. Admin teams need help with the technical context. We bridge both sides so collaboration is faster and less expensive. Here's how it works:

1. We combine public and proprietary data

30M+ open access scientific literature, 30K+ licensable technologies, along with data about research labs and grants.

2. Our AI learns your interests

Our system tailors recommendations to your unique needs, learning from your feedback and project history.

3. AI agents plan the best projects

We prioritize according to your criteria, design robust experiments and provide custom tools to automate the administrative work.

4. We surface opportunities from our network to you

We connect you with new collaborators, project opportunities, and relevant research as soon as they arise.

Why external R&D

The best innovations are rarely developed alone, but collaboration should expand your capacity, not your workload. We help with the coordination so your team can focus on the technology and take advantage of the benefits:

Knowledge Transfer
Gain deep expertise and unique insights from leading researchers outside your company.
Access to Equipment
Use state-of-the-art lab facilities without the high costs of building in-house.
Recruiting
Build connections with talented students and researchers familiar with your company.
Scalable R&D
Speed up next generation projects with adding headcount by leveraging researchers singularly focused on the problem.
Intellectual Property
Gain exclusive or shared rights to innovations developed through the project, depending on the agreement.
Marketing
Enhance your brand reputation through partnership or co-publication with leading research institutions.
