Deeply rooted in scientific, technical, and medical communications, one startup is transforming the way innovative brands communicate.
Meet Narratize AI – the generative AI platform combining the power of narrative science with cutting-edge technology to ensure that no great idea is left untold. From optimizing research & development processes to scaling product launch, Narratize reduces time to market and increases visibility for groundbreaking innovations.
Narratize transforms users’ technical, medical, and scientific insights into impactful content that scales. What begins as complex and potentially confusing writing becomes clear, high-impact, and accurate deliverables.
Built by founders Katie Trauth Taylor, Catherine O’Shea, and Kara Uchtman, who share expertise crossing science and technical communication as well as innovation and product management, Narratize was founded on a belief in the symbiotic relationship between innovation and storytelling. The team, comprising PhD-level narrative, data, and computer scientists, has spent a decade documenting effective narrative patterns in their work helping fast-growth startups and F500 brands achieve message-market fit for disruptive new products. In this work, the Narratize team discovered the power of innovation storytelling, which represents the art and science of communicating strategic narratives and personal stories about new developments, systems improvements, and groundbreaking thinking.
Taylor, O’Shea, and Uchtman found that companies innovate faster when every team member can communicate their ideas not just effectively, but efficiently. Narratize was born to make sure no more groundbreaking, world-changing ideas were left on the shelf, denied funding, or unable to find the right market.
Narratize ensures accuracy and quality by infusing user insight into every sentence so that innovators get their story right from the start. Its AI software is trained on 30+ proven corporate storytelling algorithms. The final products utilize proven corporate story patterns and style outputs while accurately maintaining users’ technical insights. The platform’s roadmap aligns with communication challenges throughout the innovation cycle, from pitching ideas to validating findings, and its groundbreaking white paper builder launched in late 2023.
Narratize recently announced the completion of a $2 million seed funding round, led by Kubera Venture Capital and HearstLab, with participation from Cintrifuse Capital, Keyhorse Capital, North Coast Ventures, and How Women Invest. With the closure of this round, Narratize joins an exclusive group of female-founded AI startups: only 0.3% of female-founded AI companies receive venture capital. The team boasts an impressive range of early customers including NASA, Boeing, Good Housekeeping Institute, and the UN World Food Forum.
With the support of their investors, they will continue making strides in scientific, technical, and medical industries. Looking ahead, Taylor envisions narrative science as a key player in shaping communication, particularly in the context of AI-driven storytelling platforms. Taylor anticipates significant growth in the generative AI market and continued transformation in how AI impacts and shapes our lives.
