Technology Scouting
Technology
scouting can speed up and improve technical
development, free up scarce internal resources for other high-impact
activities, and lead to greater innovation.
The key is being proactive, knowing
where to look, how to qualify, and how to apply new externally-developed
technologies for rapid commercialization – at a profit to
your firm.
Our technology scouting service
provides a systematic approach for companies to gather information
either directed at a specific technological area or undirected
to identify relevant developments in technological white spaces.
We move within industries and
markets while maintaining a very small footprint and proactively
reaching out to external sources to create opportunities for our
clients that would have not existed otherwise.
Corporate Venturing
Corporate venturing serves as
a catalyst for future growth and provides an additive approach
to traditional methods of growing a company.
The results can serve strategic
objectives including new products to expand core businesses or
enter new markets; breakthrough technologies to substantially
change the industry and create specific competitive advantage;
or to achieve high return on investment.
Our corporate venturing service
provides companies with an efficient approach to locate and qualify
innovative startups to partner with, invest in or acquire; all
in a confidential and discreet manner.
We facilitate syndications and
co-investment opportunities with our Angel investors to provide
flexibility in investment size and offer board seat representation
to minimize your overhead.
Venture Incubation
Innovating,
creating new businesses and reaping potential rewards is what
makes technology venturing a worthwhile undertaking. However there
are many hurdles along the way that are hard to overcome without
proper planning and support.

program is designed to assist corporations and investors with
an array of support systems throughout the realization stages
of innovation-based ventures by providing the proper guidance,
expertise and resources at each step of the process, with the

partners.
We
