What We Do

Overleaf is a startup and social enterprise that builds modern collaborative authoring tools for scientists — like Google Docs for Science. We have over three million registered users from around the world. Our primary product is an online, real time collaborative editor for papers, theses, technical reports and other documents written in the LaTeX markup language.

Who We Are

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 thirty based mainly in and around the UK and in the US. We were recognised as one of the UK's top 100 fastest growing businesses in 2018.

In September 2018, we officially launched 'Overleaf v2', the latest version of our platform, which we've been working on since our acquisition of ShareLaTeX, the other major online LaTeX editor, in 2017. We've now integrated the two products and teams.
