Opvia offers a no-code collaborative workspace designed for R&D and manufacturing teams. It doubles up as both a spreadsheet and database, to enable scientists to avoid trawling through scores of disparate spreadsheets and context-free data.
Since its founding, the company has scored customers like Gourmey, a French startup developing a process for manufacturing lab-grown meat, and VitroLabs, a California-based company which develops lab-grown leather.
While Opvia has mostly been working with biotech companies until now, its multi-functionality suggests that it can be expanded across the scientific industry. Indeed, the aim is now to seek out more big-pharma clients, and become a leading interface between scientists and their data.
Given its fast growth thus far and Y Combinator-boosted reputation, large scale funding and rapid expansion seem likely in the foreseeable future. It is hiring across its engineering and business development teams to continue its growth journey.

The people at Opvia (Opvians) are brilliant. Everyone is very friendly and I immediately felt very welcome and got to know everyone early on as we are all encouraged to have 1-to-1 chats with new starters. There's a great working atmosphere and people are always happy to help each other out.

From day one my opinions and ideas were listened to and valued. Ideas are generally shared in slack channels for everyone to see and discuss, which allows anyone to share their thoughts on the matter. There is a great company culture where everyone genuinely cares about the company and the product, so if you have an opinion, we all want to hear it.

I really believe in the product. It's far from perfect, but it's already great and gets better everyday thanks to our software engineers. If my previous employer used Opvia, it would have saved me hours of playing with spreadsheets and inputting data from paper files, so I can see how valuable it can be.

When researching job opportunities at companies with similar size, compensations were lower, compared to Opvia. Additional bonuses on top of your quite high base salary, makes the compensation more than fair.

I joined Opvia only two weeks ago, but so far it's been a thrilling and experience. From day one, the team has had great expectations of me to lead product development efforts, all while providing a lot of support and trust in me. The problems we're solving for are challenging to solve and incredibly complex. But I have great conviction that we have the right collective of talent to get the job done. The culture has been open, collaborative, and innovative with endless opportunities for growth and impact. The people are intelligent, hardworking, and of diverse personal, professional, and academic backgrounds.

There are many competitors in the space. But none have yet cracked the solution for the problems that we've challenged ourselves with. It's been interesting to see that some features we build in the past were built much later by other, more prominent companies in other verticals. Although a mere coincidence, it shows that we're innovative and aiming to stay ahead of the curve of user experience in software.
