seems like this could be a better way of doing research for the time being than continuing on in academia. I'm not sure that's an elevator pitch to wow investors. I mean "I want to do research" sounds more like a career objective than a business. There's nothing wrong with that. Startup seed money is a bet on potential. If you really want to start a research company, start a research company and figure out the money later. If you want to escape academia, you might just get a job in the industry. Good luck.
