https://www.linkedin.com/company/researchista/Knowledge is not something one can touch, smell or see. Knowledge is a sort of magic that people’s brains can generate while doing an action: think and research, experiment and think again. This is why, at Researchista we believe that all this hard work and dedication is not understood or seen well enough, simply because of this particularity: knowledge and generation of knowledge. a There are so many attempts and talks about this 'particular particularity’. In academia the efforts of communicating research are known as: research valorization. Making research more accessible and practical is essential and goes beyond the question of return of the investment done in research. Research valorization has a social impact, it has educational benefits, it contributes to global competitiveness, sustainable development, cultural enrichment and it even helps policy and decision making. Imagine a place online where researchers from all alleys of work can expose their research-inspired products and tell the story behind their research and families that from young age inspire new generations to create a bond with researchers, to use research in daily life, to apply research to change habits and finally, to play research-powered games and toys!

IMPACT STORY
Impacting lifes
Our impact story is in the making. With over 2 million researchers in the European Union and 9 million researchers overall, the movement of 'sciencepreneurship' or the intersection between entrepreneurship and academia is becoming prominent. We hope to inspire as many researchers as possible and invite them on Researchista to chanel their creative energies and give their imagination more credit.
We believe that with the Mobility Era Game, what we found from our research to be the number one board game on fiscal education, we set the right example to other researchers to convert their PhD thesis or any other research project into a research product. At Researchista, we believe that the research products go beyond lab equipment and online purchases between universities and industries, we want to make research fun accessible to those families that appreciate the value of research-driven products.
LEARNINGS
Lessons learnedAs venture based in Amsterdam who bootstrapped most of the time, we wish to those who try and believe that their idea can come true, lots of perseverance. Being a founder, running a startup is not an easy task on its own, pursuing a mission is like pursuing a dream, it will give you energy. So, when in crisis or lost, your ability to navigate back to your.
