Startup Science Acquires Startup Stack to Supercharge Founder Support
Startup Stack joins the Startup Science ecosystem to expand access to free startup tools, curated software deals, and cost-saving perks that power a unified experience for early-stage founders.
We’re thrilled to announce that Startup Stack is now part of Startup Science.
Startup Stack has long been a trusted resource for early-stage founders, offering access to over 400 vetted software deals and representing more than $3.5 million in total savings. With this acquisition, we’re bringing Startup Stack directly into the Startup Science platform by integrating perks, tools, and founder support into one seamless experience.
“We acquired Startup Stack to supercharge our mission of empowering founders at scale,” said Gregory Shepard, Founder & CEO of Startup Science. “Founders shouldn’t waste time hunting for tools or burn precious capital on overpriced software. Startup Stack solves that, and now it’s part of a bigger vision.”
What This Means for Founders:
- Access 400+ curated startup deals inside the Startup Science dashboard
- Save time and money while building your startup
- Enjoy a unified journey: from education → tools → traction → funding
What This Means for Our Ecosystem Partners (ESOs, Accelerators, Universities, VCs):
- Launch your own white-labeled deal marketplace
- Embed curated deals into your curriculum or onboarding
- Integrate perks into your CRM or LMS via API
- Deliver more value to your founders with zero extra overhead
Jonathan Engle, the founder of Startup Stack, is joining Startup Science as Head of Marketplace, where he’ll lead provider partnerships and build out tools to better serve founders and the ecosystem.
“We started Startup Stack to help founders during the chaos of early COVID, when everything felt uncertain,” said Jonathan. “It grew into something founders relied on. Now, with Startup Science, that support reaches even further, and I couldn’t be more excited to keep building it.”
This is more than an acquisition; it’s a leap forward in making startup success simpler, faster, and more accessible to everyone.
