About the company

Inato builds an AI-powered platform that connects clinical trial sponsors, research sites, and patients to make trials faster and more inclusive. The company positions the product as a way for sponsors to engage with sites at scale and expand access in more communities. Inato was founded in 2016 and operates as a private company. Public company materials and third-party profiles consistently frame Inato as “tech for good” in clinical research.

Locations and presence

Inato is headquartered in Paris, and roles are commonly marketed as fully remote, including in the United States. Inato describes a remote-first setup with asynchronous collaboration, coworking or travel stipends, and recurring team offsites.

Palpable Score

58.5

/ 100

Inato looks like a solid workplace once hired, with strong signals around structured onboarding and a feedback-heavy culture, plus clear hiring steps that reduce guesswork. The score is pulled down by thin entry-level access right now and limited public proof of early-career outcomes like intern-to-offer rates, promotion speed, and 12–24 month retention.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

9.0

/ 20

The company has at least one clear student entry point via a paid Marketing & Events internship with defined duration and responsibilities.
Inato’s widely visible current role set skews senior (COO, Sales Director, Marketing Manager on a public jobs profile), which limits 0–3 year access in practice.
The company does not publicly show a repeatable pipeline like a recurring new-grad track or multiple junior titles on the main careers page, so early-career volume is hard to confirm.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

14.0

/ 20

The company publishes a step-by-step interview process (screen, job fit, cultural fit, assessment, CEO interview, references), which helps early-career candidates know what they’re signing up for.
Inato includes practical anti-scam guidance and sets expectations about how the hiring process should look, which is a fairness detail many startups skip.
The company has mixed candidate feedback on consistency (some reports praise personalized feedback and responsiveness, while others describe a weaker experience at later stages).

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

13.5

/ 20

The company is described in employee reviews as having a structured, supportive onboarding designed to help new hires contribute quickly.
Inato’s remote-first setup includes a monthly stipend for coworking or travel plus multiple team offsites per year, which can make learning and collaboration easier for new starters.
The company does not publish junior-specific ramp plans (for example, a defined mentorship scheme for grads or apprenticeship-style roles), so the support signal is strong but not early-career-targeted.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

12.5

/ 20

The company lists “competitive salary and equity,” comprehensive health insurance, and 6+ weeks of vacation on the careers page, which points to stable employment basics.
Inato has at least one paid internship listing with an explicit hourly rate, which is a concrete early-career pay signal.
The company’s early-career pay transparency is still patchy publicly because most visible salary ranges relate to senior roles, not junior or new-grad roles.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

9.5

/ 20

The company has positive employee sentiment around onboarding and day-to-day support, but that is not broken out by early-career cohorts or first-job hires.
Inato is described in reviews as having visibility into compensation and raise decisions, which can support progression clarity, but public sources do not provide promotion timelines or retention numbers.
The company’s LinkedIn profile shows an established small-company footprint, but public outcome metrics (intern conversion, time-to-promotion, 12–24 month retention) are still missing.
