Imagine a world where drug companies are owned by millions of spare change investors committed to curing Alzheimer’s.

Help us build the InvestAcure spare change investment platform and make that world a reality!

We founded InvestAcure because Alzheimer’s must be cured!


Alzheimer’s is not normal aging!
It’s a deadly a disease, which slowly destroys the brain, robbing us of our memories, identity, and ability to eat, talk and walk.

It can strike in our 30's and 40's..... 

47% of us will develop Alzheimer's if we live to old age 

While governments & charities fund ‘basic research’ and many promising pathways to a cure have been discovered - we depend on drug companies to develop those scientific breakthroughs into an actual cure.

Yet, most major pharmaceuticals have cut back on Alzheimer’s R&D as unprofitable, while smaller scientist led companies are left struggling for investment to develop promising scientific discoveries into a cure.

DOES IT MAKE SENSE FOR MILLIONS TO DIE HELPLESSLY, just because no one can make a profit developing a cure?

Our vision is to see a world where drug companies are owned by millions of spare change investors committed to curing Alzheimer's.

We believe that by bringing together a vast community of cure motivated spare change investors, brilliant scientists and well-managed companies, we can ensure that cutting-edge scientific discoveries are turned into a lifesaving cure for Alzheimer's!

To realize this vision we are building a spare change investment platform which will enable all of us to invest our spare change in companies working on a cure for Alzheimer's! 

Here is how it works: 



Sign-up in under 5 minutes - Set up your InvestAcure investment account online and connect your credit cards.

Round-up - Spend like normal. Your day-to-day transactions are rounded up to the nearest dollar and set aside for investment.

Invest - With the guidance of leading scientists, your spare change is invested in companies working on a cure for Alzheimer’s – you own shares in each company.


While spare change doesn’t seem like a lot, automatically rounding up one’s transaction adds up to about $50 per month on average.

26% or 70 million Americans have a relative with Alzheimer’s.

If just 1.5% become spare change investors, that’s $600 million annually, $3 billion over 5 years. At a 15% participation rate, the number jumps to $6 billion annually or a staggering $30 billion over 5 years! That’s enough for countless clinical trials and a reasonable chance for a cure. 

‘InvestAcure has developed a formidable financial plan to end the roadblock imposed by insufficient capital to fund clinical trials necessary to discover effective cures for Alzheimer Disease. With so many major pharmaceutical companies leaving the space, it is even more imperative that we activate this approach immediately if we are to bring cures to families.’ 

- Dr. George Perry, Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Alzheimer's, Dean UT-San Antonio, one of the top most-cited scientists in Neuroscience, and member of the InvestAcure Scientific Advisory Board. 

‘We can cure Alzheimer’s in our mice every week, but when it comes to clinical research where real progress needs to be made to cure people, there is simply no funding available.'

- Dr. Hugo Geerts, CSO of In Silico Biosciences, headed Johnson & Johnson Alzheimer’s research and developed one of only 5 approved Alzheimer’s drugs, and member of the InvestAcure Scientific Advisory Board. 

'We can't afford to sit idly by as research for a cure is stalled by a profit-driven agenda. With InvestAcure, we have a real solution to speed the path to a cure, by transitioning ownership of companies spearheading research from profit-motivated investors to millions of spare change investors who are committed to science-driven research.'

Over the past nine months since we quit our day jobs and began working on building InvestAcure full time; a lot has been accomplished:

- We have built a demo of our investment platform and if needed funds are raised, are about six months away from launching a full working model.

- We completed SEC-registration for InvestAcure LLC as a Registered Investment Adviser (RIA)

- Most importantly, we assembled an incredible team, which includes some of the world’s leading Alzheimer’s scientists, who believe that this solution offers the best chance for a future when Alzheimer’s will be cured.

We are now looking to raise $250,000 to complete the development of the platform and launch it over the next 6 - 8 months. To do this we need the help of those who truly want to see an end to the scourge of Alzheimer's to join us in making history together! 

Every 38 seconds Alzheimer's claims another life! The faster we able to raise the needed funds to launch InvestAcure, the faster we will be able to provide investment for clinical trials leading to a cure! 

We are deeply grateful for your support! As we make history together, your donation is a heartfelt way to honor and remember a loved one, friend, colleague or a special caregiver!
