About Us

Overleaf is a mission-led organization that builds modern collaborative authoring tools for scientists, engineers, technical professionals and students — like Google Docs for Research. Our primary product is an online, real-time collaborative editor for papers, theses, technical reports and other documents written in the LaTeX markup language.

Overleaf has seen rapid adoption across science and research, and now supports a community of over eleven million users worldwide. This community includes major institutions such as Stanford, Caltech, and CERN with Overleaf becoming an integral part of research collaborations. Many government agencies and contractors, international tech, finance and engineering companies use our enterprise solutions, and we work with several major publishers: for example, supporting collaboration on IEEE’s member platform, and making the journal submission process smoother for LaTeX users across many academic publishers. Our vision is to be the go-to place for writing scientific and technical documents.

Overleaf was founded by two mathematicians who were inspired by their own experiences in academia to create a better solution for scientific collaboration and communication. Now we are a team of about sixty based mainly in the UK, Europe, the US and Canada. We were recently recognised as one of the UK's top 100 fastest growing businesses and as the Best SaaS for Nonprofits or Education in the 2020 SaaS Awards Program.
