Founders

  • Rowan CockettFounder

    I started and sold my previous web-based 3d visualization startup while I was finishing my PhD in computational geophysics. I then ran the cloud team at Seequent ($1.05B exit, 2021). I am interested in the intersection of education, industry, and research, and am on a mission to make powerful scientific data, visualization and communication tools accessible through the web. Curvenote is part of my mission to reimagine collective knowledge creation for modern science.
