Curvenote

Curvenote, initially named iooxa and later rebranded, operates primarily from Calgary, AB, Canada, with a fully remote team of three members. As a participant in the Y-Combinator W21 batch, Curvenote has made significant strides in the healthcare IT sector, particularly in tools that facilitate collaborative scientific writing and publishing. The company offers a range of products designed to improve the efficiency and reproducibility of scientific research. These include Curvenote Pro, which provides professional templates and private projects, and Curvenote Teams, an extension for enhanced team collaboration.

Curvenote’s platform supports real-time collaborative editing of technical content, including figures, equations, and citations, and integrates interactive plots from Jupyter. It allows for the organization of work with features like meeting notes and cross-references, and it supports the direct publishing of interactive reports or exporting to various formats. The company has also launched a scientific journal in partnership with the Physiome Project, focusing on mathematical models of physiological processes. Strategic partnerships, such as with Scholar Nexus, aim to transform scholarly publishing by embracing open science. Additionally, Curvenote has sponsored conferences like FORCE11 2021 to further promote open science and reproducibility. The company’s commitment to these principles is also evidenced by its acceptance into programs like the Creative Destruction Lab and Y Combinator, which support innovative technology ventures.
