01 · The market

A learning market with nowhere to go but up.

Global digital learning is on track to nearly double by 2030. Inside it, the AI-native layer — where Science Now lives — is growing twice as fast as the base. This is not a wave to ride. It is the wave.

02 · Technology

The technology that makes a Nobel laureate available 24 / 7.

Synthetic video avatars in 8K. Voices indistinguishable from a podcast recording. A category that did not commercially exist three years ago is now worth billions — and we sit on top of it.

Source: Sacra, ElevenLabs IR, GetLatka — 2025 ARR vs most recent valuation (early 2026). Bubble area scales with ARR.
The infrastructure layer is ready and well-funded. ElevenLabs at $11B and Synthesia at $4B between them now exceed MasterClass's last-round valuation by more than 5×. Science Now stands on the shoulders of the most-funded category in AI media — and combines it with something none of these companies have: the unique IP of the world's greatest minds.
03 · The network

Five conversations available right now.

Tap any portrait to begin. These are not simulations. They are full digital twins of five extraordinary humans — answering, in their own voices, in their own words.

And we add new ones every month — 115+ trustees in the pipeline.
04 · Convergence

Three curves crossing, now.

Inference cost is collapsing. Avatar fidelity is rising. Digital learning demand is rising. They cross only once. They cross now.

Composite — normalized indices 2020 → 2030 derived from sector data. Crossover window: 2025–2026.
A once-in-a-generation window. Avatar tech is real, inference is cheap, attention has moved digital — and the laureates who hold the wisdom are in their 70s and 80s. The window opens now. It closes when they do.
05 · Supply

A finite pool — and we already hold the key.

There are only ~500 living Nobel-level laureates in the world. 120 of them have already signed on as Science Now trustees. Twelve are live as conversational agents today.

06 · The product

From one event a year to infinite conversations.

Four tiers. Each one scales reach by a thousand. Live events anchor the prestige; the realtime avatar makes elite mentorship effectively free.

Source: Science Now product model — annual reach per laureate per tier (log scale).
The leverage. Live events anchor prestige; webinars amplify; video lectures distribute; realtime avatars scale to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Every step down the ladder is a thousand-fold step in reach.
07 · The faces

Three decades of trust, captured frame by frame.

Peter Badge has photographed nearly every living Nobel, Turing, Abel, Fields and Nevanlinna laureate — for the Smithsonian, the Deutsches Museum and the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings. That archive is the foundation of Science Now.
