Scientific Funding Gap Problem

• Lots of money
• Lots of money >10M
• Money is scarce between 500K - 10M

Early stage science investments

• High technical barrier
• Discovering quality investment opportunities is difficult
• High risk / long term return horizon
• Scientist unable to communicate value / opportunity to investors

Thousands of scientific innovations go unsupported due to a lack of systematic early stage investment
