INNOVATION & ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Venture Engineering: From Lab Bench to Market Dominance
In Deep Tech, having a superior technology is only 20% of the equation. The remaining 80% is the architecture of the business itself. The Innovation & Entrepreneurship Division exists to solve the "Commercialization Contradiction": how to build agile, high-growth ventures around complex, slow-to-mature scientific hardware.
We do not teach "business administration." We practice Venture Engineering. We treat the business model as a complex system, using AI and TRIZ to identify market contradictions, optimize value chains, and structurally de-risk the journey from IP to IPO. We turn scientists into founders and patents into products.
OUR MISSION: CROSSING THE VALLEY OF DEATH To systematize the creation of Deep Tech spin-offs. We provide the "business chassis" for the high-performance engines developed in our labs, ensuring that breakthrough science is not lost due to poor commercial execution.
CORE CAPABILITIES
We build the company around the technology:
1. Technoeconomic Analysis & Validation Math, not Hype.Before a single dollar is spent on marketing, we rigorously model the unit economics of the proposed technology. We answer the hard questions: Can this scale? Is the margin physics possible?
The Advantage: We kill non-viable ideas early (saving years of life) and double down on mathematically sound opportunities.
2. "Business TRIZ" & Strategy Design Solving Market Contradictions.Markets are full of conflicts (e.g., "The product must be customized for high value, but standardized for low cost"). We apply Business TRIZ algorithms to invent business models that resolve these trade-offs, creating "Blue Ocean" market spaces.
The Advantage: We design business models that competitors find structurally difficult to copy.
3. IP Strategy & Patent Fencing Building the Moat.A patent is a business weapon. We design IP Landscapes—strategically filing patents not just to protect the core tech, but to block competitors from adjacent spaces (Patent Fencing).
The Advantage: Increases the valuation of the venture by securing "Freedom to Operate" and blocking competitive entry.
4. Non-Dilutive Funding & Grant Engineering Capital without losing control.Deep Tech requires patient capital. We specialize in securing government grants, R&D tax credits, and non-dilutive financing to fund the early "high risk" stages without giving away equity too early.
The Advantage: Preserves founder equity and extends the runway for R&D-heavy startups.
OUR PROCESS: THE "VENTURE BUILDER" LOOP
We move technology systematically up the Readiness Levels (TRL & CRL):
Tech Audit: We strip the technology down to its core "Unfair Advantage."
Market Matching: Our AI scans industry trends to find the specific "White Space" where this technology solves an urgent, expensive pain point.
Entity Structuring: We assemble the cap table, legal entity, and governance structure required for venture capital investment.
Launch & Spin-Off: We deploy the venture with a "Pilot Team" to secure the first commercial contract.
HOW TO ENGAGE
Scientist-Founders: Enter our "Venture Studio" program. Bring us your raw patent/research, and we will co-build the business case, team, and funding strategy with you.
Venture Capital Firms: Partner with us for "Technical Due Diligence." We assess the scientific reality behind the pitch decks you receive.
Corporate Innovation: Engage us to run an "Internal Spin-Off" program to commercialize your "shelf-sitter" IP—patents you own but aren't using.
