I am writing to share a new funding resource for women in science. Instrumentl is a San Francisco Bay Area startup that specializes in crowdfunding - think Kickstarter for women scientistss.
However, unlike Kickstarter, which is totally independent, the Instrumentl team helps you craft language and build your page. They also make social media announcements on the your behalf. But the very best part is - you get to keep all your funds even if you don't reach your goal. This is very different from Kickstarter's "all or nothing" approach. To see an example of the layout and language, my campaign is live right now at: www.instrumentl.com/denaemmerson If you have any questions about the process please feel free to email me at dcem...@sfsu.edu Dena Emmerson Lab of Avian Parasitology Department of Biology San Francisco State University
