Hi! We're Kivo.

The world of drug discovery and development has changed. In a market once dominated by ‘big pharma’ studies, today over 70% of active drug trials are sponsored by small, fast-moving teams backed by venture and private equity investors.

These teams are now distributed across departments, time zones, and geos - and their success depends on leveraging efficient systems, reliable partners, and effective project management. Unfortunately, the systems to support distributed, fast-moving life science teams haven’t evolved as quickly. 

Validation, GxP, CFR Part 11 compliance - these aren’t industry buzzwords, they’re core to how drug development teams must design and scale their operations as they file submissions, manage trials, and work with regulatory agencies. But for too long, these teams have had to choose between using a patchwork of file and project management tools, or taking the six-figure, six-month plunge with an ‘enterprise suite’. What’s worse, both these paths create even more division (‘silos’) between the Regulatory, Clinical & Quality teams that need to be working more closely together.

We offer a shared workspace where every department - Regulatory, Clinical & Quality - can manage their documents (SOPs, INDs, TMFs), their projects (submissions, trials, docs) and even their vendors in a way that’s intuitive, efficient and, of course, compliant. No more chasing files around, battling user permissions, or managing projects in Excel. Kivo brings everything together in one connected, compliant workspace that teams actually like using.  Oh, and it doesn’t cost six figures or take six months to set up (more like 6 days).
