Common Client Challenges
TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OFFICES
TTOs at universities, government labs, and corporations often receive hundreds of invention disclosures per year. Not every invention can be pursued commercially.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT TEAMS
Corporations and entrepreneurs pursue new ideas for profit. Some opportunities fall outside of markets familiar to the team, and/or staffers do not have time to explore all options.
INVESTORS & ACQUIRERS
Venture investors and corporate acquirers can only pursue a small fraction of the deals they see. Pressure is high to minimize risk and maximize returns.
Which opportunities should be pursued, when, and how?
