What other partners have to say
“Your groundbreaking research becomes tangible solutions in our hands, addressing pressing societal needs. One great example is our collaboration with PhotonFirst.”
They had developed a high-potential PIC-based FBG interrogator that wasn’t yet finding traction internally. Through our structured venture building process, we matched the technology with a dedicated founding team and helped spin it out into a startup: Senergetics. Today, that team is commercializing the solution and pushing forward on a mission to make the process industry safer and more sustainable. It’s a clear example of how a strong tech foundation, when combined with the right people and venture support, can grow into a scalable company.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Our primary focus is on hardware-based deep technologies, and we always consider sustainability development goals in our selection process.
We work with early-stage technologies that have strong IP and the potential for global impact, typically at Technical Reediness Level (TRL) 3–6. That means the tech is proven in principle or in a lab, and still needs a business model, team, go-to-market strategy and further technological development. We specialize in guiding these innovations through the high-risk, early phases and turning them into scalable companies.
“Our process is structured and transparent. First, our tech scouting team screens your technology based on impact, feasibility, and fit. If selected, we collaborate on due diligence, explore potential applications, and match the technology with a founding team. You’re part of the journey — from idea to startup — and we align on licensing models, shared upside, and long-term collaboration. “
Our technology selection process generally spans two to three weeks. During this time, we collaborate with our Discovery Board members and Industry Partners to thoroughly analyze the market and the technology’s potential before providing feedback.
Please feel free to email me your technology offer. We are always open to explore the potential for collaboration.
We start our venture building program biannually, in February and October. But we are always on the lookout for new technologies.
