DeSci Intro: A Framework for Understanding Decentralized Science or DeSci

At Boost VC, we’re known for supporting early-stage blockchain startups.  Why is that such an important part of our identity? Because institutional trust is dying. And that trust is being passed down to the individual through peer-to-peer technologies. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are solving for trust in our financial system. But what other institutions are ripe for this kind of disruption?  Where else might we apply decentralization as a way to drive innovation? On this edition of Boost VC, I’m sharing a framework for the next several episodes of the podcast around decentralized science or DeSci. I discuss the incentive system that drives publishing in science and how it constrains which breakthroughs make it to the world—and which ones do not. Listen in for insight on the decline of institutional trust and learn about the rebel scientists who are defining the future of scientific innovation. Topics Covered Why Boost VC is known for supporting crypto startupsFind where talent escapes to earliestAccelerate path to solve important problems How we think about the growing distrust in institutionsPassed down to individual through P2P techConsider where applicable beyond finance Why institutions governing science are ripe for disruptionBottleneck for breakthrough tech to emergeConstraints re: what innovations make it to world What we will cover in the next 5 to 10 podcast episodesRevolution of rebel scientists building DeSciFuture of breakthroughs in science Connect with Boost VC Boost VC Website https://www.boost.vc/Boost VC on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/boostvc/Boost VC on Twitter https://twitter.com/BoostVCBoost VC on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/boost_vc/
