“Innovation is driving companies to look outside their interrnal R&D teams,” said Gross, who is the founder and CEO of Tekcapital, a University IP company… Capturing innovation from the crowd is now streamlined enough to become a part of any company’s survival kit. 

“An entrepreneur that wants to benefit from UIP [university intellectual property] would traditionally have to network with individual universities, making relationships with their technology transfer offices. But today entrepreneurs and international organizations facilitate a near frictionless system of access to that wealth of information.” 

“Tekcapital released an app earlier this year that allows users to search for IP from their smartphones. This is a good way to get a feel for what is out there, identify technologies you may want, and get your creative wheels spinning.” 

“In addition to a growing portfolio of university IP investments, Tekcapital helps research institutions and businesses develop disruptive technologies and expand their portfolios of intellectual capital through leveraging their suite of powerful and convenient technology transfer services.” 

“The Invention Evaluator tool has helped us to make decisions with a greater degree of certainty of the path that the technology should follow.”

“IE has been an excellent tool to be able to check the strength and market potential of the technologies that we manage as a technology transfer company and investment fund in México. IE is professional, quick and affordable.”

“We could not be more pleased with their perfomance and value to our organization.”

“The analysis of the IP has been very useful and has provided a clear vision of the technologies.”

“Tekcapital helps companies of all sizes find and acquire university discoveries to create market value. We have found their offering to be well received by our listed companies that have tried their service. “

“We would recommend Invention Evaluator reports to any organization looking to commercialize technologies, especially for technologies outside of the core expertise of the office. The benefit to value ratio is very high, the reports are thorough, timely and in a format that is easy to understand and share with inventors.”

“I have lots of ideas, but not enough time to pursue all of them. Invention Evaluator helps me to figure out which ones to focus on.”

“With patent costs starting at around $5,000 and international protection adding thousands more, Invention Evaluator is a highly affordable tool to help inventors decide whether the cost of protecting their ideas and work is worth pursuing.”

“Invention Evaluator provides an extremely cost effective way to screen through technologies to see which ones fit our criteria.”

“Invention Evaluator reports seek to fill an unmet TTO need.”

“I like the comprehensive approach taken to understand the technology, intellectual property and market potential of an idea to find the sweet spot.”

“We have had a great experience with the results of the studies we requested.” “Hemos tenido una muy buena experiencia con los resultados de los estudios que hemos solicitado.”

“As a portfolio management tool for a busy technology transfer office, Invention Evaluator makes great sense.”

“What you all do is disruptively high quality at a value no one else has been able to touch.”

“I now have a much clearer idea of the way forward for my invention, and some of the challenges ahead.”

“Invention Evaluator is very responsive to our needs, delivering our reports in a timely manner.”
