Experiment
Crowdfunding platform for scientific research — make science go faster

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.
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.
