After obtaining a Master's degree in neuroscience, the author struggled to find a PhD position in Germany using traditional methods like emailing professors and searching websites. This led to the creation of Academig, a platform dedicated to listing academic research labs in order to help researchers more easily find positions and opportunities. Academig currently lists over 4,000 labs and has 4,000 users, but aims to expand its network of 10,000 labs and 50,000 users by the end of 2020. The platform generates revenue through job posting fees for labs and plans to explore additional revenue streams like data licensing and analytics.

Editor's Notes
- We are Academig, and we guarantee that with us you will never miss any great academic opportunity. Thank you very much.
- My name is Tatyana and After graduating with a Master degree in neuroscience from Tel Aviv University, Israel I was eager to continue my academic career and decided to look for a PhD position in Germany
- My first step was to enter a search in google
- And from there it only got more complicated, I have spent countless hours on different platforms, old fashioned websites and emailing back and forth with secretaries
- When trying to make some order, I ended up filling up long and clumsy excel files with labs’ information Of course you can spend countless hours searching through, academic platforms, low quality research lab websites, and time consuming email communication
- After all the hard work I was never quite sure that I did not miss amazing labs and great opportunities.
- After all the hard work I was never quite sure that I did not miss amazing labs and great opportunities.
- So, together with Roni we decided to think of solution, that will bring all the information into one place, and ease the life of many students and researchers. This is how academig was born.
- We make order of all this data And we make a special promise for our customers, a guarantee not to miss any opportunity. So how can we be so bold about it? The information about the research labs is already out there, scattered all over the web, however, it is not systematically concentrated in one place. We are using smart algorithms in order to extract this information and make sense of it at low cost.
- Crunchbase is a platform for finding business information about private and public companies. Crunchbase information includes investments and funding information, founding members and individuals in leadership positions, mergers and acquisitions, news, and industry trends.

That is why we are building Academig, A world-wide academic network of research labs, A network that connects researchers, research labs, departments and service providers. ——- ———- ——— ———- ——— Academig is an academic search engine and a platform of research labs and academic services

- Unlimited data access for policy makers and funding agencies
- 1. Since launching nearly four months ago, more than 1,000 users have signed-up and we have optimized the users’ onboarding funnel. 2. Next, we are changing gears to research lab acquisition efforts. To validate our monetization model, we focus on one field of research in one city. 3. Next we will expand to additional countries and research fields, with the automation of many of the process tasks that are currently done manually.
- We are a team of 2 co-founders with solid experience in the academic world. I’ve graduated with a PhD in Quantum Physics, and Tatyana is about to gain a PhD degree in stem cell biology.
- We also benefit from the experience of mentors and consultants from the startup and academic worlds.
- We are Academig, and we guarantee that with us you will never miss any great academic opportunity. Thank you very much.
