# Built from the frustration of academic writing.

Bibby was born out of the very struggle we solve. Our founder, a researcher himself, experienced the burnout of endless formatting, complex LaTeX, and tedious citation management firsthand.

## The Founder's Journey

### Meet Nilesh our founder

As an AI researcher at Yale and with a background in robotics from Wits, Nilesh lived the problem. He knew there had to be a better way.

After talking to over 150 researchers who echoed the same frustrations, he decided to build the solution. As a serial entrepreneur who previously founded [buildawn.com](https://buildawn.com/), [upcourse.io](https://upcourse.io/) (sold to a YC company), and [pybooks.com](https://pybooks.com/), he combined his expertise in AI and research to create Bibby.

## Our Mission

### Give researchers back their time.

Our mission is to give researchers their most valuable resource back: time. Time for discovery, not for tedious formatting. We're building an intuitive, intelligent platform that lets you focus on what truly matters—your research.

## Our Vision

### Accelerate scientific breakthroughs.

We envision a world where technology removes friction from the research process. A world where the next great discovery isn't held back by a compilation error, and brilliant ideas can be shared with the world, faster.
