For technology buyers
Technology scouting
We search universities, federal labs, research institutes and companies for technology that meets your needs, confidentially, then help you close the deal.
How scouting worksTechnology and Intellectual Property placed in the right hands.
Technology scouting, technology and IP transfer, and advisory.
We find outside technology for companies that need it, represent owners who want to license or sell theirs, and advise leaders on what it is worth.
Services
Technology moves in two directions. We work on both sides.
For technology owners
Technology transfer
We find the companies that can use your patents and know-how, and we see the deal through: a license, a sale, a joint venture or a full transfer.
How transfer worksFor leaders and investors
Advisory
Independent due diligence, valuation of patents and technology, IP strategy and management consulting, so that decisions rest on evidence.
Advisory servicesHow we work
Discreet, exact and on our client's side.
Confidential by default
We represent our clients confidentially. A client's name stays out of every search and every introduction until the client decides otherwise.
One side of each deal
We work for technology buyers and for technology owners, so we know what each side needs. On any one deal, we represent one side only: our client's.
Any deal structure
License, sale, equity, joint development or sponsored research: we follow the structure that works for both parties.
US base, global reach
From Austin, Texas, we work with labs and universities across the United States and with companies around the world.
