Experiment - Platform for Funding Scientific Discoveries
https://experiment.com/

Experiment is a community for funding and sharing real scientific discoveries. Over 127,000 members supporting 744 funded experiments are helping to push the boundaries of knowledge. You can fund a dinosaur fossil excavation, a historical study of medieval monestaries, or an experiment on the International Space Station. If it helps unlock new knowledge, then we can fund it. They have the technology. Every dollar you contribute towards science helps push the boundaries of knowledge. 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. Scientists share progress, data, and results directly with backers, many widely available as open access and citeable. As a backer, you'll be able to see how much of a scientific impact you've made. There have been 20 published papers in scientific journals through funded experiments! This will be added to Knowledge Discovery Subject Tracer™. This will be added to Financial Sources Subject Tracer™. This will be added to Business Intelligence Resources Subject Tracer™. This will be added to Entrepreneurial Resources Subject Tracer™. This will be added to the tools section of Research Resources Subject Tracer™.
