Venture Studio

Working closely with IP Factory, the Venture Studio will identify dormant IP from universities, research institutions, and corporations. These IP assets will be evaluated for their commercial viability and potential to address unmet market needs.

IP Identification & Acquisition

These founder teams are built with the specific goal of developing the IP into a market-ready product or service, ensuring that the technology is fully leveraged.

Team Building

The founder teams will work to rapidly prototype and validate their products, supported by access to specialized facilities. This phase will involve rigorous testing and market validation to refine the business model.

Prototyping & Validation

The Studio will provide a comprehensive incubation environment, offering seed funding, mentorship, and strategic guidance, and actively supports the startups through their early development stages.

Incubation & Support

As the startups mature, the Studio will assist in scaling the business, securing additional funding, and establishing market presence. The goal is to build companies that are not only successful but also deeply rooted in Hartford, contributing to the local economy.
