Introducing the Manusights Founding Labs Program
Empowering research labs to submit stronger manuscripts with AI-powered pre-submission review. The Founding Labs Program offers free manuscript reviews, early access to new features, and a direct line to our team. We are looking for active publication labs with a genuine interest in improving their submission outcomes.
Our Motivation
Most manuscript rejections are predictable. The same issues come up again and again: scope misalignment, weak framing, structural problems that are obvious in hindsight but invisible when you are too close to the work. Manusights exists to surface these before submission, not after.
The Founding Labs Program is how we build a better tool. We want to work alongside labs that are actively publishing, understand what good pre-submission feedback looks like, and will tell us honestly when we miss. The goal is a review that actually helps you get published faster.
Our Ideal Partners
We are looking for PI-led labs in life sciences, medicine, or adjacent fields that are actively submitting manuscripts to peer-reviewed journals. Our ideal partner submits at least 3 manuscripts per year, is already thinking critically about submission strategy, and will engage honestly with the tool throughout the program. We especially value diversity of research domains.
