Crowdfunding is a hot idea in small biopharma, but a lot of people don’t quite know what to make of it. I’ve written about some academic examples of it, and I think that’s a good use of the idea. People can donate in the expectation that they’re helping along a research project, not because they’re looking for a big return on their money.
