GLUE

Scispot is a Y Combinator, MaRS, Velocity, CDL supported life sciences company that is focused on improving research processes within the biotech industry.[1][2][3][4][5] Through its platform, Scispot offers biotech companies tools and features that enhance lab operations efficiency, data management, and collaboration.[6] Scispot's tech stack acts as an alternative to pre-existing laboratory information management systems (LIMS) and electronic lab notebooks (ELN) with additional project management tools, data visualization features, and a developer toolkit.[7] Additionally, the company works alongside new technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), to further develop lab management software for research and development (R&D).[8]

History

Scispot is a Canadian company founded in 2020 by Guru and Satya Singh.[5] Motivated by personal experiences, including the unfortunate loss of their mother due to a lack of accessible medication, they hope to modernize biotech R&D.[9] Guru was formerly the founder of Scientist.in Foundation, director of scientific content at Scientist.com and Science Exchange and Head of Growth at LabTwin. [10][11]

Company Mission and Vision

With a vision of democratizing the life science industry and helping R&D labs eliminate major diseases, Guru and Satya's mission is to provide a scalable TechBio platform.[5] Scispot was created as a result. Their current goal is to support over 10,000 small to medium biotech companies with their lab management software by 2025.[6]
