Science Deserves a Real Operating System.
We started TARE (Technical Analysis & Research Environment) because we were tired of managing million-dollar research grants with spreadsheets and paper notebooks.
The tools used to *manage* science haven't kept pace with the science itself. While we sequence DNA in hours, we still lose weeks searching for reagents or deciphering handwritten logs.
Our Mission
To accelerate discovery by removing the "logistical friction" of laboratory work. We automate the boring stuff (inventory, safety, compliance) so you can focus on the breakthrough.
Our Values
- Safety First: Compliance isn't optional.
- Data Portability: Exportable records and open handoff paths matter.
- Reproducibility: Reviewable context and tamper-evident logs matter.
Who We Are
We are a team of scientists, engineers, and designers. We've worked in academic labs, biotech startups, and massive pharma conglomerates. We know the pain because we've lived it.
Headquartered in Washington, D.C.
Backed by the Commonwealth
TARE is proudly supported by a grant from the Virginia Innovation Partnership Corporation (VIPC). Their backing accelerates our mission to build high-assurance, secure laboratory infrastructure and drives our growth within the Commonwealth of Virginia's thriving tech ecosystem.
