Startup Mentoring

Everyone has a great business idea (or two). Ideas alone aren’t worth much. Evolving a great idea into a successful business requires relentless execution. We can help your great idea succeed by helping you avoid pitfalls that plague startups and by formulating a feasible, sound business plan.

Business Development

Great products do not exist without attentive customers.Your engagement with the first few customers has a dramatic influence on the success of your new enterprise. We can help you establish strong relationships with your early customers and partners in industry, academia, or the government.

Startup Management

Small companies operate very differently than large, established companies. Tools and processes used by large companies are often useless and sometimes hazardous to implement in startups. We can help you get your startup running smoothly and efficiently while you focus your attention on bringing your vision to reality.

Intellectual Property

With our vast experience in securing and defending intellectual property (patents, trademarks, trade secrets), we can help you define the right intellectual property strategy for your growing technology business.

Research & Development

With our experience in cutting edge research and development our vast network of commections, we can manage or facilitate your R&D activities while keeping a watchful eye on costs, risks, and schedules.

Systems Engineering

Complex products and systems are often difficult to integrate successfully across subsystems (e.g., structures, motors, electrical systems, actuators, computers, software). System engineering is the science (and art) of getting all the parts to work together peacefully. We can set up a system engineering practice to ensure that your complex products behave the way your customers expect them to.
