I missed this previously. AcademicLabs has an impressive platform! We're carving our niche and learning every day. The biggest thing for us is helping scientific breakthroughs get to market, faster. Cheers to what is ahead!
It's such an amazing market to support! Playing any role in helping scientific breakthroughs get to market is a noble cause. We share many of the same customers and they don't describe your offering as competitive to ours, in fact, in most cases they subscribe to both! They refer to wellspring as a passive marketing approach while dubbing ours an active marketing approach. The difference being is with FirstIgnite you will get the email addresses of those to reach out to, which isn't something they are getting from Wellspring.
Not specific for US. Although we currently support mostly US universities and national labs, we can work with any piece of research or technology and match to global companies and contacts.
This is who we market it to! We're actually currently working with ~30 universities and national labs in the US. We work with the commercialization and corporate relations office (and a few deans of colleges as well).
These are great. We knew about Halo.science but had not heard of these other two. I think it's a great model and these appear to be having good success. We really want to be involved in the transaction of scientific R&D projects, playing a larger role facilitating them, so will have to study these groups more.
Great point. The good news is we're offering our tool for free to PhD students right now as we work to get universities to cover sitewide licenses for faculty and students.
