Service Categories

Industry Partnerships

Looking to identify corporate partners? We identify potential collaborators through careful analysis of mutual goals, complementary capabilities, and expertise needs to source new partners for R&D, technology/start-up investment, and more. Plus, we help structure and negotiate win-win collaboration deals.

Tech Evaluation & Portfolio Analysis

Rarely can an office master all the technology and industry classes for their invention portfolio. Leverage TechPipeline’s vetted staff of experts covering a wide range of technical and industry sectors. We analyze the invention’s market fit and develop the best strategy for patenting and commercialization. Plus, TechPipeline provides a validated, third-party opinion on your portfolio.

Office Operations

From patent docketing to finance to government compliance to technology portfolio management, our experienced staff have over 50 years of tech transfer office experience at leading academic institutions. Engagements can be short-term to fill a staffing gap or ongoing for a fraction of the cost of hiring full-time staff.

Our experienced marketing professionals help raise the profile of your IP portfolio and your office, successfully securing stakeholder support and boosting researcher participation. We offer expert services from messaging and design strategy to copywriting and execution.

Licensing & Valuation

TechPipeline offers due diligence, commercialization plan development, deal valuation, licensing and negotiation, plus startup assistance, all staffed by pros that have done the job before. Leverage our senior staff to enhance your office’s commercialization: TechPipeline staff have served as office directors, senior licensing staff, and ventures program leaders.

SBIR/STTR TABA

SBIR’s TABA program provides SBIR/STTR awardees with supplemental funding—separate from their R&D budget—to have a qualified vendor such as TechPipeline provide market data, strategic insights, and other business services.
