Aveksana
Aveksana is reimagining how research begins.
While most tools in academia focus on summarizing existing knowledge, Aveksana is the first AI platform built to help researchers discover what hasn’t been explored yet. We operate at the ideation stage of the scientific process – identifying and validating novel research gaps, generating original questions, and accelerating idea-to-impact workflows.
Instead of asking “What do we know?”, Aveksana helps researchers ask “What are we missing?” We combine proprietary models trained on scientific logic with curated academic data to guide users toward unexplored, high-impact directions in their field.
Our dual go-to-market strategy is already showing strong traction:
– 19,000+ users globally
– 3 paid university pilots live, with a 4th being finalized
– Integrations live with Google Scholar and Semantic Scholar; BASE and OpenAIRE in progress
We monetize through individual researcher subscriptions and institutional licenses to universities and research labs. Our bottom-up adoption model pairs seamlessly with top-down enterprise partnerships, creating a scalable and defensible growth path.
Founded by a globally diverse team with over 2 decades of expertise in AI, research, and education systems, Aveksana is built to serve a €20B market segment within the €497B global R&D economy. Our long-term vision is to become the starting point for every research journey, shaping the next wave of academic breakthroughs, policy insights, and scientific discoveries.
