Great technologydeserves a company.
We intend to build new companies from proven technology that is not being used, at national laboratories, universities and corporate R&D groups. Each company pairs a license with an experienced operator as chief executive.
I. How a Foundry company forms
From lab to company.
01
Proven, unused technology
02
Licensed to a new company
03
An experienced operator as CEO
04
Formed and funded
II. Who we want to meet
Operators and inventors.
Operators
If you have run a product, a plant or a business line in one of our hardware verticals and want to build a company, talk to us.
Inventors and tech transfer
If you have a proven technology in our hardware verticals without a commercial home, talk to us.
Terms
The new company signs its own license. We invest from our funds, and the company is led by its founders.
III. The fund
A planned DIV Foundry Fund I, L.P. would focus on company creation at full scale. It has not been formed; its size is a target.
