How universities turn into real ventures

Spinout visibility

Know which researchers are becoming founders

We track signals across research papers, GitHub, domain registrations, and social updates - detecting when academic work turns into startup activity.

Commercial readiness

Spot movement before incorporation

Identify when a researcher exits a lab, files IP, or starts building in stealth - even before they officially spin out.

Program targeting

Support the right teams, faster

Use real-time data to prioritize which researchers should be fast-tracked into venture support programs or startup grants.

Cross-platform tracking

Monitor across publications, projects, and people

We connect dots across academic and commercial ecosystems to give you a full picture of founder activity.
