About
Experiment is the world's largest crowdfunding platform dedicated to funding scientific research across disciplines like biology, medicine, physics, and more. Researchers create campaigns with a funding goal and timeline, and backers support projects to follow the science unfold. The platform uses an all-or-nothing funding model and includes a scientific review process to ensure rigor and credibility.
Problem
Traditional scientific funding is slow, limited, and gatekept, leaving many promising research ideas without financial support.
For
Scientists and researchers seeking public funding for research projects
How it works
Researchers post a hypothesis-driven project with a funding goal and campaign duration; backers pledge money and are only charged if the goal is met, with an 8% platform fee deducted before funds are transferred.
