Hi! Is it possible to make the additions below? Thank you, I appreciate your time!


  • What I think should be changed (include citations):


In Funding section, add: In 2018, Science Inc. closed on $75 million for its venture fund with traditional limited partners, including a fund of funds, sovereign wealth funds, foundations, and other institutional investors.[1]

In Notable Affiliated Companies / DogVacay section, add: It merged with Rover in 2018.[2]

Add to Notable Affiliated Companies section:

Liquid Death

Science provided seed funding for Liquid Death, a healthy beverage platform, in 2019. Science also invested in the company’s Series D funding round in 2024 at a $1.4 billion valuation.[3][4][5][6]

MeUndies

In 2012, direct-to-consumer intimates brand MeUndies was the second company to be backed by Science Inc.[7][8]

OffLimits

OffLimits, a plant-based vegan cereal, was launched out of Science Inc.’s startup studio in 2020.[9]

PlayVS

Science was an early investor in scholastic esports platform PlayVS.[10][11]

Pray.com

Science Inc. led the seed funding round for Pray.com, an interfaith mobile app that helps religious leaders keep in touch with their congregants, in 2017.[12]

Toonstar

In 2017, Science Inc. led the seed round for Toonstar, a Web3 animation studio.[13][14]


  • Why it should be changed: To more accurately reflect Science’s portfolio of investments.
  • References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button): See citations above.

Minor edit! As the list of companies that are being invested in grows it may be better to use a list approach rather than sections. Perhaps keyed alphabetically? May be able to assist come the weekend..... Neils51 (talk) 00:42, 15 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Not done for now: Single-line paragraphs should be avoided where possible (WP:PARAGRAPH), and the excessive headings could make the article more difficult to navigate. I do think Neils51's idea of a list is more appropriate for this article. Encoded  Talk 💬 10:03, 27 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
