Empowering Academic Entrepreneurs & Early-Stage Startups
We’re here to be your guide.
The world of innovation can be expansive and unknown. Breakthroughs can’t all occur in the lab and true innovation requires a journey down an entirely new path.
This journey will be one begins with knowing that you’re ready and taking the leap. You’ll need to wind through the twists and turns of a startup company, moving consistently forward with every step.
We are here not only to illuminate your path, but also to walk with you. We’ll move together through all of the things that you don’t even know you should be thinking about - customer discovery, technology transfer, IP protection, and more.
We’re mainly here to transform your scientific expertise into entrepreneurial success. Let us convince you that you in fact can be a CEO and empower you with what you need to do it.
We’re here to help you make an impact on the world.
Providing support across ecosystems.
While we’re passionate about startups, we can add value to other stakeholders within the ecosystem as well.
Researchers & Early Entrepreneurs
You’re our bread and butter. We can work directly with you to build out your idea - and eventually your company. We’re happy hearing from those just trying to figure out if they should take the leap and also from those who’s companies have been operating for a bit. We’re happy to work a specified project or just be available when you need us. No matter the structure, we’ll be there building alongside you.
University Tech Transfer Offices
As a university, you only want what’s best for your spinout companies. So do we. We know you have a large portfolio and can’t hold everyone’s hand on their journey. Instead, you provide value by connecting them to the right resources. That’s us.
We’ve worked with technology transfer offices in the past and understand how we can support you - and help ensure that your scientist-led spinouts have the best chance of success.
Venture Funds & Angel Groups
You’re putting your money into these companies at high risk, especially in the early-stages. Your portfolio companies may need more help than you can provide because you need to focus on the next deal or finding LPs for your next fund.
Let us give you the comfort that your portfolio companies have the resources they need to succeed. We can’t promise a specific return, only that we’ll make sure your companies to position themselves in the best way possible
