Impact
Supporting science has an unparalled return and high impact on human health. Here's Why
Science is process, and the output of scientific research is often more knowledge.
However, given a long time horizon, the knowledge created from funding basic research directly leads to breakthroughs, treatments, cures, and technologies we benefit from today.
After 10 years of conducting research, Larry realized how many promising research avenues are never expolored when it personally happened to him as a medical student. This inspired him to start Healthfundit, and help researchers tell better stories.
Velocity
This concept sounds innovative and important, as we are forced to rely less and less of federal funding for research and clinical trials"
-- Dr. Douglas Martin, Ph.d Auburn University
“A major impediment that has prevented my laboratory from pursuing new and innovative ideas that I have had over my career is the lack of seed funds to pursue novel/innovative ideas. It is virtually impossible to obtain a government grant or venture capital to pursue a novel and potentially breakthrough technology without preliminary experimental evidence that demonstrates a high probability for a successful outcome. Healthfundit provides an exciting and viable solution to this major roadblock by lessening the risk via distribution of contributions over a large number of contributors.”
I believe it is a novel idea to fund innovative biomedical research with a new paradigm as well as to facilitate the rapid progression of basic research findings into the commercial realm.
