Why Crowdfunding?

Throughout most of my scientific career, I have seen many careers go by the wayside due to poor funding within our academic institutions. When I started my Institute I knew it would be a monumental task to to launch a biomedical company with very little money, and just a few ideas. But I quickly realized how crowdsourcing could play a pivotal role in shaping my company.

Support occurs in different ways. For this campaign we are asking for funds. But also the immense amount of support and feedback that has been generated by this campaign has meant that the Institute has encountered new exposure, interacted with some amazing people, and developed new initiatives that has allowed the Institute to grow. I do believe the future of scientific funding will come from a crowd-sourcing model.

I want to take this time to thank Experiment, for hosting our proposal. We have made it very far in this campaign. With only three weeks left to go, we are urging everyone to chip in some support, and help an amazing team find a horrible disease.

Thanks!
