The Problem of IP Commercialization…

The IP commercialization problem stems from the gap between innovation and market adoption. While universities, research institutions, and companies generate vast amounts of intellectual property, much of it remains underutilized due to a lack of expertise, funding, and strategic execution. Many institutions focus on patent filings but struggle with tech transfer, market validation, and business development, leaving valuable inventions dormant. Additionally, traditional licensing models often fail to maximize the potential of IP, leading to slow adoption and missed economic opportunities. Overcoming this challenge requires a structured approach that integrates business strategy, funding, and industry collaboration to transform patents into scalable, market-ready ventures.

IP creators’ challenge
Universities and patent owners need help commercialize their IP

Universities are a significant source of innovation, producing numerous patents through publicly funded research. However, a substantial number of these patents remain underutilized, representing a considerable investment with unrealized potential. According to Forbes, over 50,000 university patents are sitting on the shelf, representing trillion-dollars of public investment waiting to be commercialized. By effectively bridging the gap between academic research and market application, there is an opportunity to unlock significant economic value from these dormant innovations.

Entrepreneurs’ challenge
Entrepreneurs need help to build their ventures

Universities excel at research and innovation, generating thousands of patents each year, but they often lack the expertise, funding, and commercialization infrastructure needed to bring these technologies to market. Many tech transfer offices operate with limited resources, making it difficult to conduct proper market validation, develop viable business models, or attract industry partners. As a result, a vast number of university patents remain underutilized, representing missed opportunities for economic growth and technological advancement. Bridging this gap requires dedicated commercialization efforts, strategic partnerships, and venture-building expertise to unlock the full potential of academic innovations.

Investors’ challenge
Investors need better way to find and invest in early-stage startups
