The document describes SciTree, a web platform that aims to facilitate collaboration between scientists and investors. It seeks to address the problem that scientists and investors operate in separate networks, with scientists publishing lengthy, specialized papers and investors seeking short presentations. SciTree would allow scientists to publish 25-word summaries of new technologies alongside full papers, and enable investors to fund research tasks. This could help investors access more early-stage opportunities and scientists obtain funding. The platform may generate revenue through targeted ads, paid promotions for scientists, and fees from universities and paid memberships for investors.

1. SciTree
Meeting place for science and business

2. New technologies (materials, substances, technique) are a
basis of contemporary economy and an ideal target for
investment.
Science produces plenty of new technologies, which can be
converted into business product, and create revenue.
However investors have no
access to information about
99% of new technologies.
They know about these
technologies only when
somebody else has used
them to bring new product to
the market.
Problem

3.  Scientific networks have no contact or
crossing with investors’ networks.
 Scientific Output comes in form of verbose
papers, inaccessible and incomprehensible
for people outside of academy.
 Investors’ Input comes in form of simple and
short presentations and business plans,
which scientists are not used to make.
Reasons

4.  SciTree – a web platform for collaboration
between scientists and investors
• Changing scientific Output :short statement
about new technology (25 words)+ link to a
paper
• Investors can choose a technology they
want to turn into a product
• Investors can set a task for a research group
(to develop a new material, f.e.)
• Constant monitoring of new technologies
Solution

5. Over 5 million scientists are developing new technologies
(biology, medicine, materials, etc).
Scientists get financing by writing articles for peer-review
journals and project proposals for research funds
(government organizations), which takes up to 50% of their
working time. This is ineffective usage of their time and
brainpower.
Companies spend up to 43% of revenue on R&D (Allergan –
43.4%, Eriksson – 24.9%). New technologies are important for
progress and successful competition. However these
investments do not guarantee good results, as discoveries in
science happen irregularly. Thus, it is highly expensive and not
that effective to have an R&D department in a company.
With SciTree entire science can be used as your own R&D
department. Outsource your R&D anywhere.
