We maximize researchers' research vision and support creating empathetic content. From approaches to convey the charm of research widely to content creation and promotional strategies, we provide comprehensive consulting support for project success. We also facilitate a community of researchers and events to help each other and accelerate research.
academist has a track record of supporting research projects in diverse fields ranging from natural sciences to humanities and social sciences. We also have extensive experience supporting research that is difficult to obtain public funding for, such as fusion areas, basic research, and research in the 0→1 phase. Our project achievement rate exceeds 87%, surpassing the high standards compared to academic crowdfunding sites worldwide. Over 20,000 supporters interested in research and researchers have supported academist projects to date.
The support funds acquired can be used flexibly as there are no restrictions on usage. academist welcomes challenges from university and research institute researchers, graduate students, doctoral entrepreneurs, and independent researchers to realize their research visions.
We continue to support research to further accelerate after project success. Through collaboration with events and research support organizations, we provide opportunities for researchers to take the next steps. academist Crowdfunding is the ideal platform for taking the first step to turn your research vision into reality. Let's change the world through research together.
