Science Exchange is a cloud-based software company offering an R&D marketplace to buy and sell scientific services.[2][3][4] The marketplace gives life sciences companies access to the outsourced research they need and the platform fully automates R&D outsourcing from source to pay.[4][5] Commercial contract research organizations (CROs) and academic core facilities can sell their products and services directly through the marketplace.

Science Exchange's enterprise clients include top pharma and emerging biotechnology companies, including Merck, Amgen, Gilead Sciences, Astellas Pharma, AbbVie, and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals.[6]

Science Exchange was founded in 2011 by Elizabeth Iorns, Ryan Abbott, and Dan Knox, taking part in the startup accelerator program Y Combinator in the summer of 2011.[2][3][7][8]
