💡 The Challenge: Bridging Academia and Industry
The world of scientific research is exploding with discoveries, yet countless groundbreaking innovations remain hidden. The process of identifying commercially viable ideas is slow, inefficient, and costly, creating bottlenecks for universities, corporate R&D, and deep-tech VCs.
Paper Pulse is disrupting this status quo. We're building an AI-powered SaaS platform that systematically analyzes scientific publications to unlock their innovation and commercialization potential. To achieve market leadership, we need agile, innovative minds to build our GTM and commercial infrastructure from the ground up.
