InnovateTech Ventures is a venture creation firm. We build high-potential startups primarily based on patented technology developed at universities. In selected cases we provide consulting and management services to established tech companies seeking a path to exit.
Universities’ innovations hold untapped startup potential, but most universities don’t have access to a network that can bring together a business model, seed funding and an experienced management team. InnovateTech provides that access, transforming disruptive university innovations into high-potential startups.
We also publish Startup.Directory, an online database of more than 2,500 vetted high-tech startups from 300+ research institutions. Investors, entrepreneurs, corporate executives and university tech transfer professionals use Startup.Directory to identify investment and acquisition targets, and for competitive and industry monitoring.
Gerard Eldering, founder and president of InnovateTech Ventures, is an experienced entrepreneur and nationally recognized authority on technology transfer venture creation.
