Our take

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.
