Our Model
Unlock Value From
Noncore Innovations
A structured path to unlock value from working innovations that have not yet become revenue generating products.
We fund, operate, and scale noncore assets - software, devices, workflows, and data - while you retain faculty, gain equity, and secure perpetual internal access.
Get In Touch
The Opportunity Hidden in Plain Sight
Your institution has built working innovations that solve real problems internally but remain locked within your walls. These assets span software tools, medical devices, clinical workflows, data sets, training content, and operational methods. They work. They deliver value. But they lack the packaging, support infrastructure, regulatory pathways, and go-to-market resources needed to become external products.
Unlike for traditional biotech patents waiting for licensees, there are no institutional buyers, and hence no value.
We can help unlock this value.
Why These Innovations Are Not Monetized Today
Resource Constraints
Limited budget and staffing for productization, documentation, quality systems, and ongoing support. Internal teams are stretched thin managing core mission activities.
Faculty Retention Risk
Traditional spinouts require faculty to leave their academic roles, creating unacceptable disruption to teaching, research programs, and departmental continuity.
Nonpatented Asset Gap
Standard licensing templates assume mature patent estates. Your innovations rely on code, know-how, designs, and data rights that lack clear commercial frameworks.
What This Is - And What This Is Not
This Is
  • A funded build-out for unpatented or lightly protected innovations across software, hardware, and services
  • A structure that keeps faculty in role while forming a newco with external operating capacity
  • A path to equity upside, guaranteed internal access, and reduced institutional spend
  • Focused on working assets: code, prototypes, methods, data, and know-how, ready for hardening and scale
This Is Not
  • The classic biotech patent out-licensing model with a mature patent estate already in place
  • A requirement for patents at formation - they are optional and can be filed later if they add defensibility
  • A cash extraction from your budget - we fund everything
  • A faculty departure scenario - advisory roles with time caps preserve academic commitments
Our Model at a Glance
01
Form NewCo with Faculty Lead
The faculty member becomes scientific co-founder and advisor under a conflict-of-interest plan with time caps, preserving their academic role and responsibilities.
02
Assign IP and Know-How
Transfer code, designs, documentation, data rights, and know-how to the new company. Your institution receives equity in exchange at formation.
03
Grant Perpetual License-Back
You receive an irrevocable license for internal use, covering all improvements, future product updates and extensions - free of any present or future charges.
04
We Fund and Operate
We provide the seed capital and orchestrate future funding rounds. We hire the product team, handle productization, build quality systems, and manage go-to-market. Zero cash required from you.
