Our take
Dubbed the Google Docs for science, Overleaf enables modern collaborative authoring tools for academics. Its primary product is an online, real-time collaborative editor for papers, theses, technical reports, and so on, written in the LaTeX markup language.
Despite being founded in 2012, it has experienced its largest phase of growth only relatively recently. This is partially due to an increased need for collaborative tools among scientists who are working in globally distributed teams, but also because of Overleaf's growing reputation as a sophisticated platform for academics. It passed the 10 million user mark in 2021 and has continued to grow steadily in popularity.
The company, in its own words, has entered a new era, and describes its goal as becoming the first port of call for scientific writing for researchers, students and enterprises alike. With a product under constant development and a large and enthusiastic community of users, it is well poised to achieve its aim.
