Ecosystem Partnerships
Founder Institute
|
Founders gain access to capital-efficient, commercially viable inventions from federal labs through two complementary accelerator programs from the Center for Advancing Innovation and Founder Institute.
The Center for Advancing Innovation (CAI), which leads the world’s preeminent global challenge-accelerator program to commercialize federally funded inventions, announced a new partnership with the Founder Institute, the world’s premier idea-stage accelerator and startup launch program. This initiative is created to strengthen efforts to increase the probability of launching successful startups to develop and commercialize federally funded inventions. Learn more here |

- Identify commercially viable technologies
- Determine their commercialization path, and
- Assist in commercializing by:
- Licensing: Identifying the partners who have significant interest in the technologies and want to enter into a licensing agreement. NIH/NCI will then create the licensing agreement
- CRADAs: Identifying the partners who would like to form a collaborative R&D agreement. NCI will then create the CRADA
- Startup: Creating a startup that can then license the promising technology
- Identify technologies that are high-risk, high-return and need to be pushed further down the R&D path. Outline key R&D steps that are necessary to push the technology further in the development cycle

The National Aeronautic and Space Administration
Agreement to Perform Invention Due Diligence and Startup Challenge to Commercialize Inventions with the National Aeronautic and Space Administration
|
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is launching “Startup NASA”, a new initiative to encourage the use of federally funded technologies by start-up companies. “Startup NASA” includes the opportunity for new companies to license NASA technologies with no up-front payment and kicks off an effort with the Center for Advancing Innovation (CAI) to encourage more space technology spin-offs by entrepreneurs. Startup NASA helps address two of the biggest challenges faced by start-up companies: raising capital and securing intellectual property rights. By eliminating up-front licensing fees, NASA is letting new companies hold onto their cash while securing the intellectual property rights needed to secure their competitive market space. This benefit is available to companies formed to commercialize NASA technology. In addition, to foster the creation of new start-up companies and encourage adoption of NASA technologies, NASA will work with the CAI to run a multi-phase business plan competition in 2016. CAI will review NASA’s portfolio of technologies and identify those that have near-term commercialization potential. CAI will conduct outreach teams to explore the market potential of the technologies and write business plans. The winners of the competition will be awarded a cash prize, provided by third-party venture capital investors, and will be encouraged to incorporate and pursue licensing the technologies from NASA, using their winnings as seed funding for the new business.
