The Quinn Foundation for Science and Enterprise is a private pioneering organization dedicated to empowering the next wave of scientific and technological innovation. With a profound commitment to advancing human progress, the foundation offers substantial financial support to early-stage startups that demonstrate exceptional potential in science and technology.

Our mission is clear: to fuel the commercialization of promising scientific and technological applications that have the power to propel humankind into a brighter future. To achieve this, we provide grants of up to $1.4 million, uniquely free from any equity obligations. This approach ensures that visionary founders retain complete control over their enterprises, fostering an environment where innovation thrives unencumbered.

At the heart of our foundation lies a deep respect for the intellectual prowess and creative genius of founders. We seek the best and brightest minds – those who are not only skilled in their fields but also possess the drive to break new ground and challenge the status quo. Our application process is highly selective and competitive, ensuring that only the most promising and dedicated teams receive our support.

In keeping with our commitment to excellence and innovation, applications for grants are received by invitation only. This exclusive approach allows us to meticulously identify and engage with startups that align with our vision of transformative progress.

Through our support, the Quinn Foundation for Science and Enterprise aspires to be a catalyst for groundbreaking discoveries and technological advancements. We are more than just a funding source; we are partners in the journey towards a future where science and enterprise merge to create unprecedented possibilities for all of humanity.

We are currently comprised of a board of philanthropists based in San Francisco, New York, Austin, Denver, Salt Lake City, and Atlanta. Our board consists of leaders and alumni from World Economic Forum, Nvidia, Google, Tesla, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Merck, and many other leading institutions.
