Pushing Innovation

Pushing Innovation is a for-profit venture with a social mission - to fund research. They are changing the way science and innovation gets funded by matching donors with researchers in a simple and effective, low cost way. They connect funding sources like high net worth individuals, private banks, corporate donors, and foundations with researchers through their portal which cuts down on overhead and increases transparency.

Donors get to pinpoint where the money goes, follow progress, and ultimately gain an investment opportunity if/when research becomes commercialized. Investment banks capture a new revenue stream out of a current loss. Grant writing institutions can drastically reduce their overhead when it comes to funding research. Companies can keep track of what's going on in their space. Universities get a new source of funding to make up for the billions in cuts. The world benefits from the technologies, cures, economic gain, and job creation that results from Pushing Innovation!
