Private-Sector
Some companies find it to be advantageous to license their technology and processes to a new, emerging company.
Funded, What Now?
Most companies that help emerging SBIR/STTR funded businesses center on helping you obtain the funding. But what happens when it comes time to commercialize the innovation?
As science-based companies grow they waste time and resources trying to match general IT resources to laboratory informatics problems -- sometimes problems that were solved a decade or more ago.
