About Petridish

  
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.
