Investors

Science Ventures takes a rather different approach to the creation and launching of licence deals and new spin out companies than you are likely used to.

Many investors commonly complain that research-based 'Commercialisation' activities are generally chaotic and that the deals are simply to slow and too poorly contracted for, particularly in terms of intellectual property control. Also that universities and research institutes often have unrealistic commercial expectations, do not really know the due diligence processes involved and are consumed by internal politics and turf wars.

Science Ventures is a specialist technology management company that deeply understands both the research institution dynamics and decision-making processes and the business processes at play - the founders having themselves spent fours years within the University of Glasgow and having launched a series of top quality deals (see track record on the home page.)

Our experience allows us to coordinate all of the required partners in delivering top quality, clean and fast deals - thereby reducing the investor's risk.

We are not a Venture Capital company - we are instead exclusively a Commercialisation Management company operating in both the Physical Science and Life-science areas.

We do spend our own time and up to £500k maximum in systematically shaping raw ideas into well structured business opportunities - including full Business Planning, producing first technology demonstrators and assembling top quality Management Teams.

When these opportunities are then ready for Series A funding, typically the £2m - £10m level, we support the Management Teams of these new ventures to attract the required funding; and at that time we leave the project in the capable hands of the Management Teams and the Investors.

Obviously having built up a strong international network over the years we already work with a selection of tried and tested investors. However with an ever increasing project list if you feel that your company can add more than just cash to our projects - particularly early customer door-openings and strategic supply chain partners then we'd be very pleased to hear from you.
