Social & Environmental Impact

Help Us Build the Future of the Global Startup Economy

We believe startups aren’t just economic engines — they’re social transformers.

Every new venture has the potential to solve a human problem, close a gap, restore a balance. From immigrant founders to self-taught innovators, from climate resilience to community renewal — we’ve seen how entrepreneurship can drive real, lasting change.

Innovation isn’t neutral. And neither are we.

The StartupScience Impact Mission

StartupScience is built for the underrepresented, underestimated, and unstoppable.

‍We support the builders who reflect the world they’re solving for:

Neurodivergent founders

Immigrant entrepreneurs

Women and minority-led startups

Founders from underprivileged, rural, and overlooked regions

The deaf, blind, and physically disabled

Youth innovators — from Junior Achievement high schools to collegiate entrepreneurship clubs

Because the world doesn’t just need more innovation—it needs inclusive innovation. Through our platform, they get the systems, capital, and credibility they’ve long been denied.

I was joining just to see if I should recommend to my members, but after the courses and discussion, I’ve decided to participate and am already getting value personally.

Data That Drives Us

Immigrant founders have built 55% of U.S. unicorns and founded over 25% of small businesses, yet face systemic funding gaps.

Neurodivergent individuals are 30% more likely to start a business — but significantly underrepresented in accelerator programs.

Less than 2% of VC capital goes to Black or Latinx founders in the U.S.

Youth entrepreneurship is on the rise: Junior Achievement and university entrepreneurship programs have seen double-digit growth in participation since 2020.

According to the UN, 50% of climate goals depend on technologies that don’t yet exist — and founders are the ones building them.

This is why StartupScience exists.

Environmental Impact by Design

Startups are the frontline of climate solutions.

‍Whether it’s clean energy, sustainable packaging, or regenerative agriculture — the world’s next wave of environmental progress will come from founders.

That’s why we support:

Green innovation with capital access, grant support, and pitch readiness for climate tech startups

Accelerator programming for ESG-aligned ventures

Templates & tools for measuring climate impact, preparing carbon disclosures, and aligning with UN Sustainable Development Goals
