Science Inc. is a Los Angeles-based startup studio and venture capital firm founded in 2011 by Michael Jones, Peter Pham, Greg Gilman, and Tom Dare. The company operates a unique hybrid model that combines elements of both venture capital investment and hands-on startup incubation. Science identifies entrenched markets and societal shifts and invests in disruptive companies with new ideas and highly focused teams. The firm provides funding, operational support, and expertise to companies focused on solving everyday problems of modern living. Unlike traditional incubators and accelerators, Science does not work within fixed time periods or classes - companies work with Science for as little or as long as deemed necessary for their success. The firm brings together talent, resources, and financing through a centralized platform to build and invest in technology businesses. Science has co-founded and invested in over 60 companies and has achieved more than $2 billion in exits. The firm's investment strategy focuses on direct-to-consumer brands, mobile and social entertainment, marketplaces, and consumer technology. Science operates with over 20 employees whose functions include paid media, legal, data analysis, finance, growth, digital content creation, and more, providing ongoing operational support to portfolio founders. The firm's philosophy emphasizes fast learning iteration, diving into big problems, coming to quick solutions, and figuring out ways to scale businesses in a highly repeatable fashion.
