O que Experiment faz

Today's funders are so conservative they only fund the most obvious ideas. At Experiment, we fund the ideas that they won't fund; the ideas that matter. Since founding, over 47,000 citizens have pledged $9 million dollars supporting 900 scientific projects on the platform. 46% of all projects on Experiment are successfully funded. When the projects are finished, the scientists share the scientific results with their backers as lab notes and peer-reviewed publications. Scientists from Stanford, Harvard, and Yale have chosen to use Experiment instead of writing grants. Bill Gates recognized Experiment by saying "this solution helps close the gap for potentially-promising but unfunded projects."

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a marketplace where scientists pitch projects and citizens fund research they believe in. Scientists get money for experiments traditional funders avoid, and backers follow the outcomes via updates and published results.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Honolulu and remote locations; the company is currently based anywhere the founders work.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We started in Honolulu because that's where our team was located. Being remote hasn't slowed us; scientific projects and backers come from all over, so physical location is flexible until YC, which may shift our base to Silicon Valley.
