Cactus Communications acquires visualisation startup Mind the Graph
Cactus Communications (CACTUS), a technology company, announced its acquisition of Mind the Graph, a SaaS platform with the “world’s largest scientifically-accurate illustrations gallery.” This technology acquisition will enable CACTUS to provide automated DIY science figures and AI-powered scientific communication solutions to the researcher community, academic publishers, and the life sciences industry. This acquisition will focus on CACTUS’ business division, like its brand Impact Science, which offers solutions for science dissemination and research engagement with peers, the public, and policymakers. Abhishek Goel, CEO & co-founder of CACTUS, said that he was excited about this acquisition as it is perfectly aligned with CACTUS’ vision of enabling scientific advancement through technology. “With so many research papers being published every year, it has become more difficult to catch the reader’s attention. Researchers need to curate content in alternate forms of scientific communication (e.g., posters, infographics, graphical abstracts) that are more engaging and create a long-lasting impact. We believe this acquisition will help us satisfy the changing nature of customer demands through the AI-powered solutions of Mind the Graph,“ he added. Mind the Graph was founded in 2016 by a pharmacology researcher and a designer; the technology venture became the leading infographics platform for scientific communication in less than seven years. Fabricio Pamplona, co-founder of Mind the Graph, said, “This partnership will help Mind the Graph grow faster and reach a much larger set of customers. It will benefit from CACTUS’ understanding of the industry and its significant presence across multiple geographies.” Founded in 2002, Cactus Communications (cactusglobal.com) is a technology company accelerating scientific advancement. CACTUS solves problems for researchers, universities, publishers, academic societies, and life science organisations through innovative products and services developed under Editage, Cactus Life Sciences, Researcher.Life, Impact Science, UNSILO, Paperpal and Cactus Labs.
