For University Technology Transfer Offices

You can't build a custom truck for every disclosure. You need a fleet.

150–300 disclosures a year. Flat resources. A queue that grows while technologies age out. The problem isn't effort — it's architecture. You need a system that gives every technology commercial exposure at scale, then goes deep on the ones that generate real market signal.

The same broken system, different symptoms.

The same funding dependency that trapped startups trapped your office too — just differently. Federal funding became your triage filter. Technologies that attracted grants got attention. Technologies that didn't got queued. And the queue is where technologies go to age out.

What most TTOs don't have

  • No demand generation — the market doesn't know most technologies exist
  • No scalable outreach infrastructure
  • No inbound pipeline
  • No feedback loop to inform prioritization

The cost of the queue

  • Every month without exposure: competitor advances
  • Market window narrows
  • Potential partner solves the problem differently
  • The cost is lost deals and expired patents

The Fleet Model: Commercialization at Scale

A startup is a single vehicle — one technology, one path, all depth. A TTO is a fleet. You need lightweight, standardized vehicles that get every technology from the lab to market exposure efficiently.

Layer 1: The Fleet

Every disclosed technology gets standardized positioning, market-facing content, and automated outreach. This is the scalable layer. It runs on systems, not heroics.

Layer 2: The Deep Dive

Technologies that generate real market signal get elevated — more targeted outreach, custom positioning, direct licensing conversations. The market tells you where to invest.

From Disclosure to Deal Flow

A streamlined, repeatable pipeline that moves technologies from disclosure to market engagement systematically.

01

Intake & Positioning

Structured intake extracts core value prop. Standardized template ensures speed and consistency.

02

Content Creation

Market-facing technology profiles, problem-focused articles, industry-contextualized summaries. Findable, shareable, actionable.

03

Automated Outreach

Targeted, personalized, problem-led outreach to relevant industry contacts. The system handles volume. Your team handles conversations.

04

Signal & Escalation

Opens, clicks, replies, meeting requests. Strong signals → Deep Dive. Weak signals → reposition or retarget. Nothing wasted.

Build the system in four weeks.

Start with a cohort of 10–15 technologies. Build the infrastructure around them. Everything you learn applies to the next cohort. Then feed the system as new disclosures come in.
