Better data aggregation is desperately needed in medicine and sadly I think the creator has walked face first into the horror of cost merely to access clinical trials. Plus, the cost of paying contractors to extract the actually useful information from those trials. These are key reasons why Open Science and Open Data are so critical, to produce tools like this one. Sadly I don't think there is a "Startup" level of money available for it even so.

He might not have succeeded in getting rich, but he can still turn this into an incredibly effective $40k donation to public health research.

I'm sure there is a researcher out there who can find hosting for this service, and maybe continue to keep it up to date with new trials.
