6. What was the easiest and hardest part of starting/running the company?

Easiest:

Building the first version of the platform. It’s a lot of fun to start building something new!

Hardest:

Quitting my postdoc was a pretty tough decision. It’s one of those turning points where you know that once you leave there’s little chance of returning (in this case to academia). Beyond that, it’s taken quite a while for the industry at large to recognise peer review for what it is - the critical foundation upon which all credible science and research is built. It’s promising to see some great momentum now (see our recent partnership with BMJ) and a commitment to strengthening those foundations so we can build out the tower of human knowledge to unprecedented heights.
