We know and understand the world of academic research.
Half of our founders and the greater operational team come from an applied research background, so we have first-hand experience of the challenges and opportunities your organisation may face in bringing research projects to market.
That is why we created our researcher-specific venture building programmes, with modules covering the journey from academia to the commercial world, alongside all the ideation-to-launch modules your organisation will require.
We provide a number of inter-connected venture building programmes for academic institutions.

IP Commercialisation
Academia is a treasure-trove of innovation, much of which typically resides in inactive research papers and soon-forgotten IP. We work with our academic clients in analysing, scoring and selecting potential spin-out opportunities that reside in their IP portfolio. From entire portfolio analysis to individual assessments.
Innovation Sourcing
Competitive event designed for your research community and featuring additional researcher-specific commercialisation and go-to-market modules. Held over two days, the D-TECHATHON acts as a smart identification, screening and selection tool of the deep tech innovation residing in your institution.
Venture Building
Focused, fast-moving and effective, our D-TECHLAUNCH is designed to efficiently progress a deep tech startup from ideation to pilot-ready in a 12-week period.
Using our proven playbook, D-TECHLAUNCH provides inter-connected, comprehensive modules that support founders with strategy, planning and KPI-setting and across all key technical, commercial and team disciplines. Deep tech is hard, D-TECHLAUNCH is designed to make it easier by equipping researcher-led teams with the tools to build fast-growing but sustainable businesses.
Accelerating

Run over a 20-week period, D-TECHSCALE focuses on the MVP-to-market stage and covers all the key stages from strategy, planning and KPI-setting to technical, leadership, team development, sales/marketing, financial and fund-raising. A primary challenge for all deep tech is market adoption and early-stage investment.
