Supporting the science-to-venture journey
Understanding and addressing the key frictions facing practitioners across the investment, university and policy communities is at the heart of our research.
Our research helps investors and partners by surfacing lab practices that improve the chances of commercial success - like designing for scalability early, testing in relevant environments, ensuring reproducibility, and working across disciplines. While we don’t set testing standards ourselves, we feed into that work by sharing insights through research, policy engagement, and collaboration to inform those who do.
For universities, our research examines frictions in the spinout process across US and European institutions, with a focus on identifying and sharing best practice.
Our research addresses issues of concern to policymakers and ecosystem stakeholders, examining how targeted interventions, from funding and procurement models to risk capital frameworks, can unlock value in science-led innovation.
