🏢 About Yendou

We are at war with the administrative burden slowing science down.

You might have heard this before: It takes 12 years and $800 million to bring a cancer therapeutic to the market.

But here’s what outsiders don’t know—what no one talks about:

More than a third of that 12-year timeline (4.6 years) and 22% of clinical trial costs are wasted on the process of allocating trials to clinics.

We’re fixing this.

We’re building the next-generation CRM for R&D teams in life sciences—empowering life sciences companies to deliver the right medicine to the right patient at the right clinic, on time, globally.

🔥 What It’s Like Working With Us

🚀 Writing Code That Saves Lives.

You can write code anywhere, but only in a few places does your code write history. Yendou is one of them. Here, your work ships incredible software to ship incredible science straight to patients who need it.

⭐ Winners Win. Losers Lose.

Winning is an attitude. It's you vs. you. We don’t believe in hope. Hope is for those who doubt. We WILL our mission into existence. No permission needed. No one can stop us.

💡 Customer Obsession is Our DNA.

We don’t just build for the sake of it - we build because we care. We care about our users, their problems, and their success. Every line of code, every design, every interaction should empower our customers. We don’t just meet expectations - we exceed them.

📈 Growth is the Ultimate Perk.

Yendou isn’t an easy place to work. That’s why it’s the best place to work. We expect you to be faster, better, sharper every day. Here, growth is non-negotiable.

🧠 Dead Brains Kill Companies.

You either get smarter or you get left behind. We believe in relentless learning, breaking down problems to its fundamental truths, and building from the ground up.

⚡ Speed is Survival.

Startups don’t grow linearly. They explode - or they die. Moving fast isn’t a flex - it’s an existential requirement. The only way to know you’re doing a good job? You shipped.

🎯 Ownership at Every Level.

Nothing is “not your problem.” Every task has one owner - never a group. You step up. You own your work. You drive results.

🏆 We Play Hard. We Play Smart.

Play hard means being all in. Sacrificing comfort for achievement. But playing hard isn’t burning out - it’s doing what you love. And playing smart? That’s finding the smartest way to win.
