Our Story

Notes9 was born from a shared frustration experienced by our founding team during their pharmaceutical and biotech research careers. As active researchers, we discovered that while our individual challenges seemed unique, they all stemmed from the same core inefficiencies: fragmented data, manual workflow bottlenecks, and the endless time spent sifting through lab notebooks and research articles.

Our breakthrough came when we realized we were all independently arriving at the same solution—an AI assistant that could proactively help with research workflows. This wasn't just a useful tool we wanted to build; it was a critical need we experienced daily.

After conducting interviews with researchers across 15+ labs and 20+ industry professionals, we confirmed our hypothesis: researchers everywhere were wasting critical time on manual tasks that intelligent systems could handle. This validation drove us to create Notes9—not just another ELN, but a true "knowledge clone" for researchers.
