We welcome collaborators who share our obsession with problem‑driven, planet‑positive tech. Whether you’re an academic group exploring the same frontier or an industry stakeholder ready to pilot the next‑gen tool.
Ways We Collaborate
1. Research Partnerships (Universities & Institutes)
Joint experiments, shared infrastructure, and co‑authored papers where our hardware, automation, or wet‑lab capabilities accelerate your hypothesis—and your domain insight sharpens our roadmap. Funding can flow via sponsored research, shared grants, or internal budgets. IP is settled case‑by‑case, with a bias toward open licensing.
2. Industry Co‑Development
If your company will one day manufacture, distribute, or deploy the tech we’re already building—enzyme producers, ag‑biotech firms, conservation NGOs running sensor networks—let’s merge your field insight with our R&D engine. Expect milestone‑based pilots with shared risk and shared upside (revenue splits, equity, or preferred licenses).
3. Idea Incubator
Have a concept dead‑center in our wheelhouse? Pitch it. If we see mission alignment and economic viability, we’ll prototype alongside you—leveraging our prototyping shop, biosafety lab, and venture‑studio muscle. No client/vendor wall, just co‑founders hashing a business case.
4. Spin‑Off & Venture Formation
Some solutions deserve their own vehicle. We structure newcos, bring in strategic investors, and transition staff or IP into dedicated entities—while preserving fair economics for every contributor.
What We Look For
- Problem Fit – Tackles a real bottleneck in sustainability or resilience.
- Stakeholder Path – Clear visibility to the markets or communities that need it next.
- Shared Skin in the Game – Each party contributes resources—budget, facilities, data, or distribution channels.
- Open Attitude – Preference for publishing methods and enabling follow‑on innovation.
Typical Next Steps
- Exploration Call – 30 min to swap goals, constraints, and bold ideas.
- Mutual‑Fit Memo – A one‑pager clarifying scope, timelines, and what each party brings.
- Pilot Sprint – Rapid prototyping + experimental work to de‑risk the concept.
- Scale or Spin‑Off – Choose the path that maximizes impact and self‑sustaining economics.
