Our commitment

Why We're LimitingThis Program

Proofline is not software we're simply shipping to customers.

We're building foundational infrastructure for scientific reasoning, and we believe it must be designed alongside the scientists who will use it every day.

We're intentionally partnering with a small number of teams so we can deeply understand real research workflows before expanding broadly.

Layers of research knowledge — experiments, molecules, data and documents — gathered into one shared foundation

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Any team whose work depends on reasoning surviving longer than a quarter: academic labs, university groups, pharma and industrial R&D, AI research teams, and knowledge-intensive organizations.

Roughly six weeks of active collaboration, followed by continued access as a founding partner.

No. Founding Labs is free for selected teams. We ask for feedback instead.

A small cohort, deliberately limited so every team gets direct time with the founding team.

Yes. We work with internal data today and are building toward regulated environments. Prooflines stay private by default.

We're Looking for Teams Who Want to Build the Future With Us

If your team believes research knowledge should compound instead of disappear, we'd love to explore how we can build that future together.
