Our journey

Where we've shown up so far

Vitae started as one student's spreadsheet. Since then we've taken it to careers fairs, conferences and workshops to meet the students we build it for.

From our first stand to today

  • Two members of the Vitae team behind a University of Warwick School of Life Sciences table at MLSFF 2025

    MLSFF 2025

    Our first stand. We brought an early version of Vitae and a poster, and asked students how they were finding placements. Their answers shaped what we built next.
