Radical Cures

A charity proving demand for disease cures — so investors fund the prize pools that motivate researchers to deliver them.

ANCHOR DISEASE — PHASE 1 NOW OPEN

Colour Vision Deficiency

350 million people worldwide can't see colour properly. That's 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women. No cure exists today — but gene therapy research shows it's possible. We just need to prove the demand.

74

Can you see the number 74? People with colour vision deficiency often can't.

Until Cures Are Proven

Our Mission

Medical research is broken. Researchers are funded to study diseases, not cure them. Grant money runs out, papers get published, and patients keep waiting.

We're building a different model: disease-specific prize pools, funded by the public, that only pay out when a verified cure is delivered. No cure, no payment. We're starting as a charity — proving that the demand for cures is real, massive, and fundable.

How It Works — 4 Phases

1

Register & Donate (Now)

ACTIVE PHASE

People with colour vision deficiency — or anyone who wants a cure to exist — register their support and make a small charitable donation. This proves real, quantifiable demand to potential investors. You're not just hoping for a cure. You're proving the world wants one.

2

Attract Investors

With thousands of registered supporters and a growing donation base, we present the data to impact investors and philanthropists. The pitch is simple: here's the proven demand, here's the model, here's your chance to grow the prize pool and earn returns if a cure is found.

3

Research Race Begins

As the prize pool grows large enough to matter, research teams compete to claim it. No grant proposals, no committees, no bureaucracy. One objective: develop a verified cure. The bigger the pool, the more serious the competition.

4

Cure Verified, Prize Claimed

A researcher submits a verified cure. Independent scientific review confirms it. The entire prize pool is paid out. The cure is licensed under OMAR — open access to humanity, with 10% commercial royalties flowing back to fund future disease research.

Benefits for Everyone

For Donors

  • Turn tax deductions into medical miracles
  • 100% of funds laser-focused on cures
  • Zero waste, maximum impact
  • Write yourself into medical history

For Researchers

  • Funding without bureaucratic handcuffs
  • Complete research autonomy
  • Get paid like a medical rockstar
  • Global recognition for game-changing work
WE'RE AT THE START — HELP US BUILD IT

What We're Building

Radical Cures is early. Today the platform proves demand. The machinery below is our roadmap — not yet built. We're looking for the people who will help build it.

COMING

Disease prize pools

Public funds gathered per disease, held by the charity and paid only when a cure is verified.

COMING

Published Cure Definitions

A precise, pre-registered standard for each disease — set with expert and patient input before any research begins.

COMING

Open researcher submissions & verification

Any team, anywhere, may submit a cure claim. An independent Scientific Verification Panel reviews it in the open.

COMING

The OMAR open licence

A "GPL for medicine": funded cures stay open to humanity, with a 10% commercial royalty recycling into the next pool.

Who We Need

This is a founding invitation, not a job ad. If any of these is you — or someone you know — get in touch.

Founding directors

Governance, finance or legal experience to sit on the board of the charity.

Scientific advisers

Researchers in colour vision / gene therapy for the inaugural advisory board.

Patient liaison

Someone from the colour-blindness community to help define what "cured" means.

IP / health-law counsel

To help draft the OMAR licence (pro-bono or deferred-fee welcome).

Register Your Support

Phase 1 — Proving demand. Free to register. Every person counted builds the case for investors.

Why Register?

  • Your registration is public proof of demand. We use this data to attract impact investors to the prize pool.
  • An optional small donation (any amount) signals financial demand — the most powerful signal to investors.
  • You'll be notified when the prize pool hits milestones and when a cure is eventually claimed.
  • Share with others who have colour vision deficiency — every registration moves us closer to a funded prize.

Open Medical Advancement Royalty (OMAR)

Balancing Open Access with Sustainable Funding

All cures funded through our platform are shared under our Open Medical Advancement Royalty (OMAR), creating a new paradigm that benefits everyone.

Open Access

Medical breakthroughs are made openly accessible to humanity, maximizing their impact and reaching patients faster.

Sustainable Funding

Commercial implementers contribute 10% of related revenue back to research, creating a self-sustaining cycle.

Researcher Recognition

Scientists receive both proper attribution and financial compensation for their breakthrough discoveries.

Win-Win Model

Patients get access to cures, researchers get funded, and the cycle continues for future medical innovations.

Honest Questions

Is this a registered charity yet?

Not yet. We're being established as an Australian not-for-profit and applying for charity registration and deductible-gift status. Until then we only collect registrations of support — we don't take donations.

What happens to my money if no cure is ever found?

Right now, nothing is charged — a pledge is a non-binding intention. When real prize pools open, each will have a defined window and clear rules published up front for what happens if it isn't claimed (e.g. rolling to related research). No cure, no prize is paid out.

Who decides what counts as a "cure"?

An independent Scientific Verification Panel, using a precise standard published before any research begins and shaped with input from the patient community. Decisions are public and reasoned. This machinery doesn't exist yet — building it, credibly, is exactly what we're recruiting for.

How is this different from a normal medical charity?

Most funding pays researchers to try. We aim to pay only for a verified result, and to require that any funded cure stays open to humanity rather than locked behind a patent monopoly.

Why start with colour vision deficiency?

It has a clear, measurable endpoint, gene-therapy research is approaching viability, 350 million people are affected, and pharma largely ignores it. It's a tractable proof of concept for the whole model.

What do you do with my details?

We use them to count and demonstrate demand and to keep you updated. We never sell them, and we only ever share aggregate numbers publicly. See our Privacy Policy.
