# Code Ocean

> Code Ocean is a New York-based B2B SaaS platform that makes computational research reproducible, traceable and collaborative. Its flagship Compute Capsule bundles code, data and the exact software environment together so an analysis runs identically today or years from now. Used by pharma, biotech and leading research institutes, and integrated with journals like Nature and IEEE, Code Ocean is building a trusted virtual lab where both scientists and AI agents can run real analyses with full version control, lineage and compliance.

- **Founded:** 2016
- **Headquarters:** New York, New York, United States
- **Founders:** Simon Adar (Co-founder & CEO), Ram Dayan (Co-founder & CTO)
- **Team size:** ~33-50 employees
- **Products:** Compute Capsule, Pipelines, Apps (no-code bioinformatics), Data & Lineage Graph, MLflow integration & GPU environments
- **Notable:** Incubated at Cornell Tech and grown into a platform used by leading pharma, biotech and research institutes, Adopted by the Nature Portfolio and IEEE for computational reproducibility and peer review, Powered an Allen Institute deployment cited at 2+ petabytes of reproducible data and 450,000+ computations

## Products & services

- **Compute Capsule** — A shareable, version-controlled encapsulation of code, data and the exact compute environment, linked to the results it produces. Auto-generates Dockerfiles, supports JupyterLab, RStudio, MATLAB, VS Code, Shiny and more, is fully exportable (no lock-in), and can be published with a citable DOI.
- **Pipelines** — Build, configure and monitor bioinformatics pipelines with a visual builder or import from nf-core in one click. Runs on AWS Batch with automatic scaling and automates Docker, git and Nextflow.
- **Apps (no-code bioinformatics)** — Turn Capsules and Pipelines into parameterized, no-code Apps that non-coders across an organization can run without touching a terminal.
- **Data & Lineage Graph** — FAIR-compliant data management with custom metadata and controlled vocabularies, plus an immutable lineage graph that captures full result provenance.
- **MLflow integration & GPU environments** — Provision GPU-ready environments in a few clicks and develop, track and manage ML models from development to production with built-in reproducibility and lineage.
- **Aqua (AI assistant)** — A secure, contextual natural-language AI agent powered by Anthropic Claude via Amazon Bedrock, running inside the customer's private cloud. It can find, create, edit and run analyses, manage environments and version control, with every action logged and auditable (supports 21 CFR Part 11 audit trails).
- **Code Ocean 4.0 / Trusted Agents** — Positions Code Ocean as a computational science platform where AI can execute real analyses in a secure environment with every action versioned, traceable and compliant.
