Tabulous: AI-powered data platform for life science research

Mike Lee, Will DeLoache, and Zach Russ co-founded Tabulous to replace the rigid, outdated tools slowing biotech R&D teams managing complex experimental data.

Life science teams use Tabulous to manage experimental data at scale: the platform replaces disconnected spreadsheets and inflexible LIMS tools with a structured, AI-assisted environment built for early-stage R&D.

Tabulous builds data management software for life science research teams. The platform combines spreadsheet flexibility with database structure, giving biotech organizations a single environment to capture, organize, and analyze experimental data without forcing researchers into rigid workflows that break under real lab conditions.

The platform includes an AI Assistant that surfaces insights directly within the research workflow. Unlike generic database tools or legacy LIMS systems, Tabulous is designed specifically for the iterative, hypothesis-driven nature of early-stage R&D, where experimental structure changes frequently and data relationships are rarely simple.

Researchers interact with Tabulous through a familiar spreadsheet-style interface backed by a relational data layer, so teams can restructure experiments without losing data integrity. The AI Assistant interprets natural-language queries against live research data, reducing the time between experiment completion and actionable analysis. The founding team brings over 45 years of combined biotech experience.
