I’m the engineering director at Quartzy (YC S11). We’re focusing on making research more efficient through the laboratory supply room. We help labs through a group buying experience to avoid waste, and offer discounts to their contract prices by working directly with manufacturers. This isn’t the most obvious way to make an impact, but we’ve effectively saved many labs thousands of dollars on equipment and consumables that can then be reallocated toward their research. Our mission is to increase the efficiency of scientific research — the supply room is just the beginning. Would be happy to chat - tristan@quartzy.com |

Efficiency is often compromised institutionally, so I know this is an obstacle.
I've got a lifetime of business models for scientific software, but that wasn't the question above.
One way to accelerate many types of laboratory research would be to offer a workflow alternative where very high performance individuals can make the choice to spend almost all their working time at the bench(es) rather than being distracted or sitting down at desks or office & lab computers. While maintaining overall leadership of the organization, so this requires a different type of team structure as it scales.
That way someone who can really invent a lot doesn't get bogged down by the bureaucracy of their earlier inventions.
