Introducing SymbyAI, an innovative AI-powered SaaS platform designed to revolutionize the way scientific research is conducted. Their recent announcement of a $2.1 million seed funding round generated an exciting buzz, with respected firms such as Drive Capital and CharacterVC contributing to the round.

Founded in 2020 by Ashia Livaudais and Michael House, SymbyAI brings together a range of resources to create a single, efficient workspace. Not only can researchers access papers, code, and data all in one convenient location, but they also have the power of AI to assist with crucial tasks such as peer reviews and replication.

But don't worry about privacy - in an interview with TechCrunch, Livaudais confidently assures that SymbyAI operates on its own proprietary AI solution. This means no worries about accidentally sharing confidential information with companies like OpenAI or Anthropic. The researchers maintain full control of their intellectual property, which is never used to enhance SymbyAI’s algorithms.

The co-founder openly shares that SymbyAI was born from her own frustrating experiences navigating the outdated methods of research. Identifying the same frustrations in her peers signaled a clear opportunity. "We realized we had developed a solution that could drastically minimize the time spent on routine research processes," Livaudais shared, "Soon after, demand for a productized version started pouring in from people I discussed my project with.”

SymbyAI has been working closely with academic publishers, research organizations, and universities. It also built its network of investors through participation in the gBeta program, which falls under gener8tor. Livaudais spoke fondly about her early experience with Antler, a company that saw the potential and invested during Symby's pre-seed round.

SymbyAI is eager to use the hard-earned initial capital to further grow the business and strengthen its original alliances in light of these exciting developments.
