Otta's take
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
For biologists and bioinformaticians, Watershed supplies a low-code platform to accelerate data analysis and hypothesis testing, creating a faster path to useful insights.
There is no lack of data generated in biological labs, but the specialized programming knowledge required for effective data analysis is not always present in research teams. Watershed's platform is designed to be used with minimal coding skills and is built specifically for multi-omics analysis including bulk-cell analysis, single-cell analysis, and spatial analysis.
By tackling a prevalent industry pain point, Watershed has quickly gained popularity and clientele across big-name organizations including Harvard Medical School and SQZ Biotech. It has also received significant funding that will help to strengthen commercial traction and accelerate product innovation.
