Our story
MEL Science was founded in 2015 by Vassili Philippov, a PhD mathematician and software entrepreneur from St. Petersburg who earned national medals in physics and chemistry competitions. He experienced first-hand the frustration of children’s lack of deep understanding from conventional chemistry sets and set out to create a subscription-based science kit that combines physical experiments with virtual reality to make concepts more intuitive. Since its launch, the company has raised over $24 million in funding, expanded globally to serve 63 countries, partnered with Vsauce’s Curiosity Box, and attracted acclaim from the Royal Society of Chemistry and American Chemical Society .
