About BoostDraft

BoostDraft is a software engineering company that develops an IDE for documents. It was founded by MIT and Stanford grad students, developing an assisted document editor for documents. It is a new document editor that employs error checking, reference checking, and auto-completion using both rule-based approach and NLP, like what coding editors/IDE (e.g. VSCode, Pycharm) do.

With only four years after our product launch, we already have more than 10,000 active paid users. We have several long-term, large-scale contracts with famed enterprises and law firms. As a result, we achieved significant success, including profitability and exponential growth, all without relying on external funding for nearly four years.
