Experiment.com – Crowdfunding for Scientific Research
Experiment is a platform for funding scientific discoveries using the public backing model.
Backers directly fund the project scientists, so there is no overhead involved (compared 50-60% when receiving a grant at a university).
Experiment is an all-or-nothing funding platform. This means the project must reach the funding target, or no one’s pledges are charged.
Anyone can start a new experiment, as long as the results can be shared openly.
All projects are rigorously reviewed, provided feedback, and scientifically approved by the Experiment team. What makes a good experiment?
