Philipp Hess, Founder of Publishing Gateway
"I spent 6 years at ResearchGate watching institutions struggle with the same problems. Publishers hold all the cards. Libraries pay millions without visibility. I built Publishing Gateway to change that."

As Head of Publisher Relations at ResearchGate, Philipp worked with hundreds of research institutions and major publishers. He saw firsthand how the current system fails everyone except the largest publishers.
