This page is for anyone planning to collaborate with Stemcell. If you haven't signed up to work with us, you can do that here. Here's a quick guide to understanding our brand so we all get the most out of our partnership.

1. Our Mission

We believe a smarter world is a better world. Our mission is to cultivate curious minds of all ages and inspire them to learn on their own.

Whether it's our Matter subscription box or our unique individual products, we want to ignite curiosity and inspire a love for science in everyone. After all, anyone's brain——even yours——could hold a unique idea that could improve the quality of life for every human who will ever live. 

2. Goals for Collaborators

Unless we discuss otherwise, our goal for brand representatives is brand awareness——to make Stemcell synonymous with genius, at the intersection of smart and cool.

Of course sales are vital to our business, so those are good too, but the best way to target our core audience is to make sure our products, apparel, or logo show up wherever there is intriguing scientific talk occurring.
