About Us

StartupScience.IO is more than a platform—it’s a global initiative reshaping how startup support is delivered. We bring together the entire startup ecosystem—founders, program managers, mentors, investors, service providers, and software providers—into one cohesive, data-driven platform designed to increase success rates, expand access, and create lasting impact.
Our Story
StartupScience.IO was founded by a Fulbright Scholar, TEDx speaker, and host of the Forbes radio show "Startup Science." He is a 12X serial entrepreneur, four-time private equity award winner, and best-selling author of The Startup Lifecycle. He also served as the co-founder of the Fulbright Entrepreneurship Initiative and is a former Chairman for a U.S. Congressional candidate.Before launching Startup Science, he led a five-year research study, the largest of its kind, analyzing why startups fail and what enables them to succeed. That research forms the backbone of our platform and informs every element of the ecosystem we’ve built.
Our Mission
Entrepreneurship drives innovation, job creation, and global economic growth—yet 90% of startups still fail.

Our mission is to change that.

We believe that with the right infrastructure, education, and insights, startup success can be systematized and scaled. StartupScience.IO is designed to make high-quality startup support accessible, measurable, and effective—no matter the founder’s background or geography.
Our Vision
StartupScience.IO is committed to building a more connected, inclusive, and efficient global startup ecosystem. We believe that by unifying support structures, elevating data transparency, and reducing friction across the entrepreneurial journey, we can meaningfully increase founder success rates—and accelerate innovation worldwide.
