Petridish.org is a New York-based technology start-up that is changing the way exploration, field research and scientific projects are funded. We’ve built a web platform that connects world renowned scientists with the broader public in order to raise awareness about their research and help raise funding directly from private donations. Some people call us the "Kickstarter for science," but we like to think of ourselves as a next generation National Geographic or Discovery Channel.

We’re a small team and you would be working directly with the founders who have extensive experience in venture capital, business, engineering and web development.
