Who we are

Nicolas Carpi - Founder & President

Nicolas started his career as an engineer at the Institut Curie Research Center in Paris, France. He soon realized that there was a tool missing from his daily workflow: an electronic laboratory notebook that could keep track of experimental procedures, materials, and results. To solve this problem, he created eLabFTW, an open-source electronic laboratory notebook. He developed eLabFTW as a side project until 2019, when the success of the software pushed him to create Deltablot to support eLabFTW and its growing community of users.

Nicolas’ goal is to create the ultimate ELN by providing high quality support and hosting to users while keeping the software free and open source. As a key part of this objective, Deltablot participates in various Research Data Management projects such as The ELN Consortium.
