Cure Fund

Direct research funding across the stages of a cure and see where each dollar buys the most acceleration — the years saved toward a breakthrough. Funds the bottleneck, not the fashionable stage.

Quick start

Strategy presets

$M

Allocate funding across the stages of a cure

Move the dollars. Watch where each one buys the most acceleration.

$25M

Understanding the disease at its root — the targets and mechanisms everything downstream depends on.

+1.39 yrs saved · next $1M buys 0.040 yrs

?

Per-stage numbers

Yrs saved is this stage's contribution so far. Next $1M buys is how much more acceleration one more million here would add right now — the higher it is, the more starved (and worth funding) the stage.

$15M

Models, datasets, assays and shared infrastructure that let every other stage move faster.

?

Per-stage numbers

Yrs saved is this stage's contribution so far. Next $1M buys is how much more acceleration one more million here would add right now — the higher it is, the more starved (and worth funding) the stage.

$40M

Testing candidate cures in people — the most expensive, most timeline-gating stage of all.

Per-stage numbers

Yrs saved is this stage's contribution so far. Next $1M buys is how much more acceleration one more million here would add right now — the higher it is, the more starved (and worth funding) the stage.

$20M

Bridging the lab-to-clinic 'valley of death' so a working result actually reaches patients.

Estimated acceleration

?

Estimated acceleration (years saved)

The sum of every stage's contribution on a saturating curve. It is an illustrative estimate of how many years this funding could pull a breakthrough closer — not a forecast.

~5.0 yrs saved

from $100M total · model ceiling ~11.6 yrs

?

Model ceiling

The most years the model can ever credit — the sum of every stage's leverage. You approach it with huge funding but can never exceed it (you can't buy biology faster than it goes).

Likely bottleneck: Tools & data — the next dollar buys the most acceleration here (0.053 yrs per $1M). Money here moves the cure most.

?

Bottleneck

The stage whose next $1M buys the most years. By definition that's where the next dollar accelerates the cure most — fund it, not the most fashionable stage.

Export & share

Everything here is just numbers — no account, no personal data. A shared link only carries the allocation.
