KIVO provides a cutting-edge document and quality management software platform tailored to life science organizations. Founded in 2021 and based in Portland, Oregon, KIVO was spun out of Facet Life Sciences, a regulatory consulting firm specializing in guiding life science companies through the complexities of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). KIVO was established to address a growing trend in global drug development, where small biotech and “drug pipeline” companies aim to sell their drug assets to large pharmaceutical companies before completing late-phase clinical trials.
