 Enzyme was started to help companies get cutting edge, quality technology to patients faster. We strive to facilitate this for our customers by providing best-in-class information and tooling.
 
 #### Why Enzyme?
-After spending a decade each in the medical device industry, our founders Jared and Jacob grew exhausted with the status quo day-to-day Quality Management System (QMS) activities and submission generation. 
+After spending a decade each in the medical device industry, our founders Jared and Jacob grew exhausted with the status quo day-to-day Quality Management System (QMS) activities and submission generation.
 
 Jacob used a plethora of QMS software tools for routine tasks (i.e. different tools for the varied elements of a QMS), and many users either 1) had partial/no access to all systems or 2) had significant difficulty using many systems due to infrequent access. This resulted in delays to getting work done amounting to weeks or months for a single project and ultimately to millions of work-hours per year across an enterprise. Enzyme combines and integrates workflows to significantly reduce the work-hours necessary to accomplish project objectives.
 
-Jared co-founded a consulting firm before Enzyme that specifically aided companies in submission generation. While doing that, he learned of the immense waste of resources that companies invested in submission writing. 
+Jared co-founded a consulting firm before Enzyme that specifically aided companies in submission generation. While doing that, he learned of the immense waste of resources that companies invested in submission writing.
 
 Both Jared and Jacob share a vision of a unifying QMS tool that streamlines numerous workflows and assists in document creation through auto-generation via Machine Learning & Natural Language Processing features.
 
 Too often good product ideas fail to commercialize due to what seems to be an overwhelming compliance and regulatory burden. The Enzyme cloud-hosted QMS application greatly reduces the work needed to accomplish the same deliverables. Per its namesake, Enzyme acts as a catalyst, or force-multiplier, to help get products to market faster.
 
 #### Our Mission
-Enzyme’s mission is to help life science companies commercialize faster without compromising patient care. We foster a culture of quality through modern software tools and expert guidance.

 It’s far better for everyone’s concentration and sanity if we collaborate as though most things will get an answer eventually, but not necessarily right this second. The preferred first choice of action should be to post a message, a to-do, or a document about what we need explained or need to know. Then others can respond when they’re available.
