FlowDeploy builds developer tools for bioinformaticians. Developer tools for computational biology aren't really a thing yet, so we're one of the first companies building in the space. Our core product is a platform to run bioinformatics pipelines and manage data. For a taste of the product, you can sign up and try the "Snakemake tutorial" template pipeline.

I don't think anyone has figured out bioinformatics platforms yet. As a result, the vast majority of organizations still build in-house platforms for running their computational biology pipelines. Many of those in-house platforms aren't allocated the resources they need to succeed, which slows down researchers and increases wasted cloud computing spend.

FlowDeploy has the potential to be a foundational component of in-house bioinformatics platforms – or, for some early-stage teams, it's already used as the entire platform.

We're a very small team, and we plan to stay small until we have strong product-market fit. Unlike other bioinformatics platforms, none of our revenue comes from consulting. We're funded by Y Combinator and other notable investors, FlowDeploy is generating revenue, and we can keep going for years without raising additional funding.
