Co-founders

Help your founders build the team their idea deserves

A technical researcher needs a commercial co-founder; a business student needs a technical one. Give your students and researchers access to thousands of builders actively looking to team up — searchable by skills, stage, and ambition — so more of the ideas born on your campus grow into founding teams that last.

Research to venture

Turn more of your research into companies

Great science needs a team and a route to market to become a company. Give your spinouts and student ventures direct access to startup-ready talent, early hires, advisors, and investors — so more of your institution's research travels the distance from promising result to thriving company.
