If you are interested in exploring the commercial potential of a project, Haystack Science can help you identify what is needed to reach the next value inflection point.

We evaluate your faculty’s disclosures and provide you with a “translatability score” to help you prioritize your portfolio of inventions. We create bespoke reports that highlight the strengths of individual projects and identify gaps that must be addressed before commercialization. We also provide mentoring and advisory services to members of your faculty who may be interested in spinning off a start-up company. And if we find projects that are ready for venture creation, we can introduce them to suitable investors.
