Unlocking hard-to-access craftsmanship for the early-stage venture segment.
Why

How
By working with partners we can give our ventures access to more experience and expertise, from across various sectors and geographical locations.

“Even the most robust economies have a surplus of ideas that never reach consumers. In the US, for example, just 5% of all active patents are ever licensed or commercialized. If we want to reverse these trends and maximize innovation output, we need more hands-on investors and mechanisms for funding the commercialization of smart ideas.”
