Imagine a world where patients directly fund researchers developing the next therapeutic breakthrough they need. One where drug development is collaborative, open, and decentralized — an open bazaar anyone with the right intentions can join. A system that could radically increase the diversity of treatments, and lower costs and time to market.
The majority of promising early-stage therapeutic research lacks funding and access. Funders struggle to discover and engage with suitable projects. In addition, IP is a highly illiquid, bureaucratic and opaque asset class that restricts virtual scientific collaboration through printed and filed legal constraints.
