Our commitment
Why We're LimitingThis Program
Proofline is not software we're simply shipping to customers.
We're building foundational infrastructure for scientific reasoning, and we believe it must be designed alongside the researchers who will use it every day.
We're intentionally partnering with a small number of organizations so we can deeply understand real research workflows before expanding broadly.
Why it exists
Why Founding Labs Exists

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Any team whose work depends on reasoning surviving longer than a quarter — academic labs, university groups, pharma and industrial R&D, AI research teams, and knowledge-intensive organizations.
Roughly six weeks of active collaboration, followed by continued access as a founding partner.
No. Founding Labs is free for selected teams. We ask for feedback instead.
A small cohort — deliberately limited so every team gets direct time with the founding team.
Yes. We support internal and regulated data environments, and prooflines stay private by default.
We're Looking for Teams Who Want to Build the Future With Us
If your organization believes research knowledge should compound instead of disappear, we'd love to explore how we can build that future together.
