Sci – til – i – ty
Our name, a blend of “Science” and “Utility,” reflects our commitment to creating reliable and impactful solutions that support the scientific community. As a technology company we believe in providing essential, high quality, digital utility-grade tools. At Scitility, we want to build key infrastructure components for a more efficient, sustainable and ultimately collaborative research ecosystem.
Why is Scitility organized as a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) and what does that mean?
We chose to be a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) to bridge the gap between traditional for-profit companies and nonprofits. PBCs pursue both public benefits and profits, this allows us to raise funds from investors while having a legal framework that prioritizes our social and environmental goals.
By being a PBC, we ensure that our mission to contribute to the community remains at the core of our business.
Funding
We’re proud to say that Scitility is powered by passion and ingenuity, not venture capital. As a self-funded company, we’re driven by our love for science, technology and our commitment to serving the research community. This allows us to have the freedom to focus solely on what matters most: building innovative, high-quality services that make a real impact.
