Our mission
We're building the world's best Python toolchain for working with data to power the world's best data platform. We've started with the marimo notebook, which is free and open-source.
The marimo notebook
marimo is a reinvention of the Python notebook as a reproducible, interactive, and shareable Python program, instead of an error-prone JSON scratchpad.
We believe that the tools we use shape the way we think — better tools, for better minds. With marimo we hope to provide the Python community with a better programming environment to do research and share it; to build tooling and use it; to explore data and transform it; and to learn computational science and teach it.
Our inspiration comes from many places, especially Pluto.jl and Observable. marimo is part of a greater movement toward reactive dataflow programming. From IPyflow, streamlit, TensorFlow, PyTorch, JAX, and React, the ideas of functional, declarative, and reactive programming are transforming a broad range of tools for the better.
Team
We've built products, platforms, and libraries for ML engineers and software developers at Google, Palantir, CloudKitchens, and more, and have extensive ML research experience.
