The ALPSP conference, getting into swing today, is an anniversary for Kudos! It was at the 2012 event that our founders, Melinda Kenneway, Charlie Rapple and David Sommer first met to discuss their ideas for a platform to help increase the readership and impact of research. Five years later we've grown to a team of 15, with over 100 clients and 175,000 users. Kudos has been shown to increase growth in readership by 23%, has won awards and been recognized as one of the top performing start-ups in the information sector, and continues to innovate to tackle the major challenges facing publishers and researchers. Today we say a huge thank you to all of those who've helped us on our way: our fantastically supportive customers and partners, all the researchers who've championed our tools, our advisors and user groups, our high-calibre board and investors, our patient families and friends, and our brilliant, dedicated, and fun team! Here's to the next 5 (and beyond!)
