Hey, I'm Ralph 👋 I founded Stempad in early 2024 to help me take notes in my final year of school. After getting it to several hundred users and a few paying subscribers, I saw the potential for schools, research teams, pharmaceutical companies, tutoring companies, and more. I've previously interned at BioRender (W18), Microsoft, and 5 other companies.

Hi everyone, I’m [Ralph]( I’m on a mission to improve the way teachers, students, and scientists document and share their ideas.

**The Problem**
---------------

Handwriting (via paper/tablet/board), a medium that is often substandard and that many struggle with, is currently the only viable way to do fast or impromptu scientific writing.

*   Students often resort to text editors unoptimized for science, such as Notion or Word, to take notes and write assignments.
*   Scientists use PowerPoint, wrestle with slow and expensive legacy software, and resort to handwriting to take notes, create writeups, or make presentations.
*   Remote tutors and their students require expensive tablets, styluses, and specialty software for a real-time digital whiteboard experience.
*   Professors often upload low quality scans of their messy handwritten class notes.

The list could go on. The ability to quickly and collaboratively document scientific ideas with a keyboard is a huge QOL and productivity boost for people and institutions doing science.

**Stempad To The Rescue 🔬**
