Curvenote
Communication and publishing tools for scientists
We are building Curvenote, a platform for scientists and engineers to write and publish their reports with live, interactive graphs that update with live data. Our goal is to make scientific communication more reproducible and easier to share by integrating the data directly into the documents.
We live in Calgary, AB, Canada, and work remotely. After YC, the company would remain primarily remote but possibly centered around that area or where the team chooses.
We are based remotely from Calgary because that is where the founders are. This allows us flexibility and access to global talent without relocating immediately. It fits our early-stage small team structure.
