About DeepDyve

DeepDyve provides affordable and convenient access to authoritative research content from the world's leading publishers including Elsiever, Nature, Wiley-Blackwell, ACM and dozens more. We have amassed millions of documents across thousands of premium journals and enable our users to "rent" these articles for 90% less than the cost of purchasing them. Users can rent one article at a time, or subscribe to a monthly service.

There are over 250 million knowledge workers worldwide, yet only 10% of them have 'institutional subscription access' provided by their large academic or corporate employer. Our target users are the "other 90%", the tens of millions of knowledge workers in small/medium businesses who are frustrated by the time consuming effort of finding these articles, and the high prices for then purchasing them.

What makes us different? We value individuals who take total responsibility for their life. We want people who believe they are solely empowered to create their future, who want to constantly learn and grow both professionally and personally, and who seek a dynamic environment where they can flourish.

We are funded by prominent technology executives and based in Sunnyvale, CA.
