Milestones
2017
Hypherdata idea is born – A mad scientist, frustrated with slow and expensive research, Jana Miniarikova, while working on her PhD., dreams of building a different solution. One that speeds up any discovery.
Hypherdata idea is born – A mad scientist, frustrated with slow and expensive research, Jana Miniarikova, while working on her PhD., dreams of building a different solution. One that speeds up any discovery. She decides to find a new way for organizations and individuals in life science to collaborate, access data, and procure relevant services in days instead of months or years.
2019
The team meets – After two years of business consulting, Jana is ready to take the first step. She joins a start-up generator “Antler” in Amsterdam. Here, she meets her two co-founders who match her competencies.

Here, she meets her two co-founders who match her competencies. ScientiCore BV is incorporated in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The company receives its first investment. The founders (Hustler, Hacker, and Hipster) are ready to venture out.
2020
From data exchange to matchmaking – A concept of a matchmaking platform is created. Now, data and various product-related services are available to others. MVP is built and tested with the first clients.
2021
Market validation and funding – A pre-seed investment is secured. The company is rebranding to Hypherdata. A new concept of the V1 Hypherdata platform is outlined based on user feedback. The business model is validated.

How did it all start? With a Challenge.
Max has been diagnosed with Huntington’s disease: a rare, fatal genetic disorder. Unfortunately, there is no cure for this disease. But, many scientists are working relentlessly to develop a therapy.
One of the scientists was Dr. Jana Miniarikova. Jana (Hypherdata, co-founder) was working on her PhD. in a company co-developing miRNA-based gene therapy for this disease. She experienced firsthand the need for external data and other research-related services to fast-track product development.
During my Ph.D. studies, we collaborated with various universities and companies. The entire pre-clinical research counted for more than seven years. Looking back, we could have shortened it in half. The problem was and still is that we are scattered as scientists or product owners. We do not honestly know where to find the right solution or whether there is room for meaningful collaborations. There usually is. We don’t know enough and fast about it.
For Jana’s project, a large quantity of work had to be created in collaboration with other organizations. This required precious time to search for Solutions and build connections. In the end, doubling the development time – only to get the product to the clinical trial.
After my Ph.D., I didn’t see the point in continuing my research career in the lab. I preferred to be part of the Solution that changes the whole system.
Having one single platform for life science organizations to access data and services will result in: products reaching the market faster, less time and money wasted, and budgets allocated to more development. Which gives me hope for a better future.
And this is the reason behind Hypherdata.
