Sparrho

London, United Kingdom

Overview

Sparrho operates a discovery platform that aggregates over 60 million open-access papers, patents, and publications and applies AI to help users sort and find relevant research. The product targets both members of the public and enterprise users seeking clearer access to scientific work that is often gated by costly journal subscriptions. Sparrho reports one million users on its platform, reflecting consumer and professional demand for direct access to scientific thinking. The company positions itself as reducing barriers created by subscription paywalls and enabling researchers to communicate beyond siloed disciplines. CEO Dr Vivian Chan highlights public appetite for science driven by profession, personal interest, or medical conditions, and notes enterprises are using the platform to showcase and monitor their research landscape. Financially, Sparrho has recently raised $3 million to support its mission.
