About Sell to Scientists

We are building the
research graph.

The scientific workforce is one of the least-indexed professional populations on earth. Researchers publish constantly, win grants publicly, file patents — and yet they are completely invisible to B2B tools.

The Problem

Scientists are invisible to sales tools

A pharma BD team trying to reach the world's top CRISPR researchers has no reliable starting point. LinkedIn is wrong. ZoomInfo misses academics. Faculty directories are HTML tables with no emails.

We are aggregating the world's best open research infrastructure — OpenAlex, ORCID, NIH Reporter, PubMed, Semantic Scholar — and turning it into a contact intelligence layer that actually works for the scientific market.

Our Moat

Industry bridge signals

The most valuable researchers for B2B outreach are those with one foot in industry: patent holders, startup co-founders, SAB members, industry-funded PIs.

We built proprietary signal detection to surface exactly this population — the researchers who bridge the gap between basic science and commercial application.

Data Philosophy

01

Open sources only

We only index publicly disclosed information: papers, grants, patents, public institutional pages. No scraping of private university systems.

02

Opt-out respected

Any researcher can request removal. We maintain a global suppression list and honor it across all exports and API calls.

03

Freshness first

We would rather show fewer records with high confidence than pad the database with stale or unverified contacts.
