Over the past 5 years, tens of startups have emerged promising to revolutionize the way science is conducted. Often founded by young researchers after realizing the lack of digital tools for researchers, these startups bring new tools to conduct experiments, manage laboratories, or explore the literature. Many of these tools use so-called cloud technologies, developed in the early 2000s to make complex software cheaply, rapidly, and easily accessible through the user's web browsers. The technology owes its popularity to its strong technical advantages, which include scalability, automatic software updates, easy portability to mobile devices, and high reliability.
