We launched our Regulation Crowdfunding round on Wefunder. The campaign is now public and open to investment. See the official press release on PR Newswire here.

I'm building StartupScience.io, a real operating company that's been in business for five years, has over $5M already invested, more than 88,000 founders on the platform, and is already generating revenue. It's designed to fix the structural problems that cause most startups to fail and make entrepreneurship more systematic instead of luck-driven.

This is an equity investment opportunity. It is not a donation, gift, favor, or support request. Participation is optional and carries early-stage investment risk. All investment terms, details, and execution occur directly on Wefunder at https://wefunder.com/startupscience.

How We Got Here

We previously raised capital from institutional investors and our management team to build the core platform. That funding helped us reach 88,000+ founders and 200 entrepreneur support organizations across four continents.

We opened this round to the broader ecosystem because founders who use the platform should have the opportunity to become stakeholders in it. The campaign launched one week ago. In that first week, we raised $300,000 from early supporters and business partners.

What We've Built

StartupScience.io centralizes the startup ecosystem by connecting founders with lifecycle-timed education, mentors, accelerators, investors, and resource providers through AI-matched support networks. The platform is built on the Startup Lifecycle framework.

We've made three strategic acquisitions. Startup Stack became our Marketplace module, offering founders access to $4M+ in potential savings. Startup Benefits supports our international expansion with a database of hundreds of thousands of grants, services, and investors worldwide. Sphere is a mentorship platform that will soon be released as the Advisory module in our system.

Our partnerships include the Angel Capital Association, Fulbright Canada, the National Black Chamber of Commerce, the Collegiate Entrepreneurship Organization, and innovation networks in maritime and Nordic entrepreneurship. These partnerships enable scalable, data-driven support across global markets.

Investment Details

Every investment tier includes tools and platform access. The $1,000 tier includes a signed copy of The Startup Lifecycle book, free Founder platform access for one year, and up to $500 in platform credits for equity simulation, investor matching, or mentor connections. Higher tiers include access to workshops, quarterly AMA sessions, and direct one-on-one time with our founder and CEO.

All investment information, terms, and execution occur through Wefunder. Questions about returns, valuation, terms, minimums, or deal mechanics should be directed to the offering page at https://wefunder.com/startupscience.

Regulatory Compliance

This offering is being made pursuant to Section 4(a)(6) of the Securities Act and the Regulation Crowdfunding exemption. Investors should carefully review the Form C and offering materials available on the Wefunder platform. No money or other consideration is being solicited or will be accepted outside the platform.
