The early R&D
scouting & prospecting platform in life sciences.

Absolutely. We can have a first exploratory live demo - and if interested, our founder can provide deeper tailored guidance to fully understand the limits of what is (not) possible, as well as answer any questions you may have.

Every team gets direct access to our founding team, including our Founder/CEO Arne, during onboarding and beyond. We map your use cases, Arne guides you in adopting the best possible workflows, proactively updates you on new relevant improvements, and provides you with ongoing support and guidance whenever you need it. This isn't a self-serve tool with a help center - it's a partnership. Arne loves to help you out, figure out solutions and workarounds, as well as lead the engineering team to innovate and improve the platform to your benefit. So the more feedback, the better for everyone!

Yes. You can fully search the platform and use AI to evaluate experts, labs companies or research data. With 500 AI credits you can create a report on top 25 profiles or analyze 500 publications, patents, projects, trials or news articles for free.

Our mission is to democratize access to sophisticated, actionable R&D intelligence. Therefore, our all-in-one platform is priced lower than most incumbent point solutions. And the smaller your organization, the lower your annual subscription fee. For SMEs, we offer full company licenses so anyone in your team can benefit from data-driven R&D intelligence to advance the company. For large companies, we offer tiered pricing based on number of users and modules. For academics, we have special plans for research groups, AI powerusers, academic researchers and students. Every subscription includes AI capabilities and AI credits - with more available for power users. Book a demo to get a quote for your team.

Yes - this is our core strength. We mapped 19,000 preclinical therapeutic biotech companies! We identify and track emerging startups and for example added over 5,000 university spinoffs, 10,000 small HealthTech companies, 21,000 incubator residents or alumni, and 17,000 startups who raised funding. For each preclinical company, we link to their funded projects, publications, patents, news, company webpages and will soon show their preclinical assets.

No - we used to, but in recent 4 years we built - in words of customers who switched or trialed solutions - the most powerful and comprehensive life science company intelligence solution. AcademicLabs goes (1) deeper in mapping early-startups than pipeline databases, (2) goes beyond just funding by in-depth linking all public R&D activities, (3) is going the extra mile by analyzing company website content and classifying companies with AI, (4) uniquely connects company leadership, advisors and researchers with their in-depth scientific profiles, and (5) now enabling to find any company contact by a life sciences-focused function, functional area and function title classification, plus valid emails. So yes, it's time to change our brand name :)

Pipeline databases focus on clinical-stage assets. AcademicLabs focuses on the full spectrum - from a very early-stage funded academic project to a Phase 4 trial - connected to the researchers, companies, and IP behind it. We show you what's emerging, not just what's in the pipeline. While AcademicLabs does not yet provide structured asset pipelines, you can in 1 click see all drugs and companies with an ongoing phase 2 trial for a specific indication. Even more, we are about to publicly release Asset Intelligence with preclinical to clinical assets across all therapeutic areas within a couple of months! It is currently available for select customers - reach out to info@academiclabs.com to learn more.

AcademicLabs is built specifically for life science commercial teams who need to prospect on science. Where most lead gen platforms give you keyword-matched researcher lists with metrics or company lists filtered by funding, headcount, stage or location, AcademicLabs lets you find and qualify prospects based on the specific details of what they're actually working on: their recent publications, patents, funded projects, clinical trials, news, and website content - all connected in 360° profiles with AI to digest all relevant data for you. What makes AcademicLabs unique: Scientific depth as a prospecting layer. Originally, AcademicLabs has been built to cater to pharma-grade R&D intelligence, providing depth, coverage and AI ccapabilities unparallelled in the market. Every company, lab, and researcher profile links to their underlying science. You can search by any topic, disease, TA, modality, technique, or specific research focus - and AI reads all of it to score customer fit, explain why a lead is relevant, and draft tailored outreach referencing their actual work. Coverage from labs to researchers and R&D companies. AcademicLabs is the only platform that also profiles 150K+ research groups - the academic entities that need and buy solutions. With 22M researchers and 500k R&D companies (half in life sciences) you find any company and researcher that matters. Early-stage startup visibility. We track 19,000+ preclinical biotech startups, 5,000+ university spinoffs, 10,000 HealthTech startups, and 21,000+ incubator alumni - many of which haven't yet appeared in other databases. AI-powered at scale. Bulk-assess 1,000+ prospects, score scientific fit, and generate personalized outreach - in minutes, not weeks. The result: higher-quality leads, more relevant outreach, and better reply rates - because your message connects to the prospect's science, not just their job title.

GlobalData is a strong market research and pipeline intelligence platform - excellent for understanding clinical-stage assets and pharma market trends. AcademicLabs complements that by covering a different part of the market and serving a different workflow. Where AcademicLabs adds unique value: (1) Earlier-stage coverage: AcademicLabs tracks the full spectrum from newly funded academic projects and preclinical startups to late-stage trials - connected to the researchers, labs, and companies behind them. If your team sells into the early-stage, preclinical, or academic market, this is where most of your addressable market lives. AcademicLabs provides unparallelled coverage of preclinical startups and signals for science-based prospecting. (2) Built for prospecting: AcademicLabs includes AI-powered customer fit scoring, tailored outreach generation, verified email contacts, and CRM-ready exports - designed to move from "Let's see who we can find" to "Tailored emails going out to action to best-fit prospects" in minutes. (3) Research groups and researchers: AcademicLabs profiles 150K+ academic labs and 22M researchers alongside 500K+ companies - giving you access to the academic buyers, PIs, and decision-makers that company-focused platforms don't cover. (4) Science-based search: Find prospects by their publications, patents, funded projects, or website content - not just by industry classification or pipeline stage. Many of our customers use AcademicLabs alongside GlobalData or other market intelligence tools - AcademicLabs handles the prospecting and outreach workflow, while market research tools provide the macro view.'

PubMed and Google Scholar are publication search engines. AcademicLabs is also a publication search engine (integrating PubMed and much more), yet it goes much much further. It provides more filters to cut through the noise, instant trends, and connects publications to researchers, groups, universities and companies to find who's doing the most relevant research and assess their expertise or collaboration-fit in a single click. AcademicLabs AI also enables you to extract structured insights from up to 2,000 publications in just 2 minutes. You go from searching publications for hours or days to taking action in minutes. And of course, beyond publications, in one integrated search you find the relevant newly funded projects, patents, clinical trials, news, assets (soon), companies, research groups and researchers.
