Company Creation
From the earliest stages of assessing a research result’s commercial potential, we work with researchers and business leaders to lay the groundwork for a startup. This includes formulating a business hypothesis, building a management team, negotiating IP and licensing arrangements with universities, securing grant funding, and designing a capitalization strategy.
Our company creation work draws on nearly a decade of experience supporting commercialization through our deep tech accelerator program, as well as our track record in matching management talent.

Building Teams,
from Founding to Growth
Our HR team works with portfolio companies to build the teams each stage calls for—from assembling founding teams before launch to defining executive and key talent needs as the business grows. We connect companies with candidates through our proprietary management talent pool and network of external recruitment agencies, and stay involved through onboarding.

Impact Investment
Through Fund I and Fund II, we have invested in startups working to solve social challenges through science and technology. To formalize this commitment, we established an Impact Measurement and Management (IMM) policy for Fund III, and we now make every investment with the explicit intention of creating positive impact.
