Studio
We create the venture, then recruit researchers in residence from leading universities. These are people who have already built a technology or prototype. We pair them with operators and capital.
When the IP sits with a university, it transfers to the company only once it is funded. If it is not, it goes back to the researcher with no strings attached.
We start from problems we understand in the market, informed by our mentors and the corporates we work with.
We recruit a researcher in residence who is already working on that technology.
We fund studio companies from our balance sheet and leverage government programs to extend their runway. Later companies will be funded from a future fund.
We recruit the CEO and close the pre-seed. The CEO then raises the seed and Series A.
