Boulder, Colorado based RareShare.org is a new initiative that aims to connect those who share the same rare disorders. Each community will offer tools for people to share experiences, explore treatment options and find support among others affected by the same, or similar, disorders. This is an underserved market because a relative small number of people suffer from these disorders. The site claims that a combined 30 million people suffer from these rare disorders in the U.S. and Europe, with some 1,500 orphan diseases in the U.S. alone.
RareShare is currently in a closed alpha (invite only). It is privately held and self-funded.
