Making Accessible Industry-Grade EDC A Reality For Non-Profits
Weidley’s Wish is Captivate’s flagship philanthropic initiative, created by CEO Scott Weidley to support groundbreaking research in areas that are often overlooked due to funding challenges, particularly rare diseases and orphan drug development.

“What ClinCapture is doing is outstanding and has an impact on the world.”
Captivate™ EDC uniquely provides the privacy, performance, and power to meet regulatory requirements, facilitate trouble-free data entry, and allow clinical researchers to gain insight into data in real-time.

EXPANDING THE MISSION
Captivate's Response to Growing Clinical EDC Needs Globally
2019 - COVID-19 Response
At the height of the pandemic, ClinCapture expanded Weidley’s Wish to include free EDC access for COVID-19 treatment and vaccine trials. Organizations like ClinMax leveraged Captivate® to launch multiple national studies in Egypt, reporting a 40% faster build time compared to legacy EDCs and praising Captivate®’s ease of use, advanced features, and responsive support.

2025 - COVID-19 Response
As the need for affordable, compliant software grew, Weidley’s Wish evolved again to include startups, small sponsors, and nonprofits requiring prevalidated, full-featured EDC systems without the budget for traditional commercial platforms. Unlike other “freemium” vendor models, Weidley’s Wish participants receive access to the same powerful tools used by global sponsors.
