What We Do
Support entrepreneurs and early-stage technology companies in designing and implementing their plans for success.
VentureMax™
We partner with early-stage technology companies (Corporate Partners) to fund, develop and commercialize their technologies and intellectual property in areas that the Corporate Partners are not pursuing as they focus their resources on their core applications/markets.
The partnership is created through the establishment of Newco into which the Corporate Partner licenses its technology and intellectual property in certain fields of use, and XPI contributes financial and managerial resources. The Corporate Partner receives equity, access to new IP, and an option to purchase Newco.
Advisory Services
We offer advisory and operational support to startup technology companies, accelerators and incubators, and technology transfer officers.
We focus on guidance and support in the following areas:
-
Startup creation and funding
-
Technology licensing and development
-
Product and business development
