What Does athenaDAO DO?

Source, fund and incubate academic and industry R&D

Our collaborative global network of experts sources, funds and incubates translational research, from discovery through licensing IP assets and companies spin-outs. Researchers get access to an unparalleled network: legal, strategic, scientific, and market mentorship and support.

Novel funding and incentive mechanisms

On-chain transparent blockchain technology and incentives to fund early-stage research and biotech startups via a token held by the community. Capital allocation is done collaboratively.

Global female-led movement

We are a community hub for women, focusing on education, access to resources and incentives that benefit them directly. We create opportunities to interact with the scientific community and likeminded women, to influence what research is addressed, and generate value from their contribution.
