For universities and tech transfer offices.

We augment your tech transfer capacity, not replace it.

For each piece of research we engage with, we produce a serious commercial thesis that informs your decisions about IP protection, sponsored research, and eventual spinout structure. This is work few TTOs are resourced to produce in-house.

We bring funding for patent work on the inventions we are engaged with, on terms agreed in advance with the TTO, so that the patent decision is not constrained by your annual budget.

Access to a network of experienced commercial operators, particularly within the diaspora communities of our target geographies, who are interested in running companies built around your research.

Relationships with international growth investors who take seriously the companies we work on. Your spinouts get access to capital pools that would otherwise not engage with research from outside the major established hubs.

We structure spinouts to access international capital while preserving meaningful equity participation for the originating institution. Positive-sum for the university, the scientific founder, and the company.

The originating university and the scientific founder hold meaningful equity in every company we help form. R&D stays connected to the originating lab through funded sponsored research. The companies retain substantial engineering and operational presence in their country of origin.

First phase. Active work concentrated in India, developing first university partnerships. Brazil and South Africa next. Depth of engagement with any partner institution matters more to us than breadth.
