14. Value Proposition 💡

15. ALTR3 is a collaborative platform for
individuals interested in technological
advancement. It is a low cost research
tool that disrupts the current model,
and acts as a GitHub for research.

the box. Something that has
minimal overhead that allows
people to build onto your
product"

32. We interviewed
2 CVCs, 4 researcher

33. Pivot?

34. Pop ups - the dead end,
pretty experience

35. Museum > R&D dept.

36. The museum would bridge
connections between
researchers and people.
It would promote VCs to
invest in research more.

37. Science museums provide a
learning opportunity
through simple hands-on
interactions.
