- What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.
- The founders are building an online platform (formerly iooxa) for writing, sharing, and reusing scientific content, linking document and presentation components back to their computational sources so they stay interactive. Content is organized into small blocks such as figures, equations, paragraphs, and code that carry versioning, licensing, and attribution, and can be composed into linear documents or rearranged. It integrates with Jupyter Notebooks to track experimental work and import interactive outputs into reports, documents, and presentations.
