Sci.STEPS published an interview with Henri Max Deda, co-founder and CEO of scienceOS, about his path from molecular biology and scientific marketing into building a company focused on helping researchers work with scientific knowledge more effectively. In the conversation, he explains how a course on platform economics helped shape the idea for scienceOS and why connecting researchers with the information they need became such a compelling mission.
The interview also looks at how scienceOS grew: after an initial fundraising attempt did not work out, the team launched a paid version in April 2024 and found that users were willing to pay. Henri reflects on the importance of community feedback, the team’s focus on quality over speed, and why he sees scienceOS as a practical way to contribute to scientific progress.
