About Georgia Tech Starter

About company

Georgia Tech Starter is a university-based, peer-reviewed crowdfunding platform for science and engineering research projects. The site, open to faculty researchers and students, is aimed at raising seed funding (typically amounts up to $5,000) or helping to gather data for a larger project. Projects will be posted on the site for 60 days, and donors will only be charged if the funding goals are reached. The site uses a review process to ensure projects can be successfully executed, before they get posted. Georgia Tech Starter was launched by an Atlanta-based engineering school.
