ELEVO is a global tech transfer and venture-building platform. We identify high-potential research from leading institutions and transform it into investable, scalable companies through funding, strategy, and hands-on execution.
Unlike a traditional VC, we don’t just invest—we co-found ventures with scientists and research centers. Unlike incubators, we provide capital, IP support, and global market access. Our dual DNA in science and business means we speak both the language of researchers and the logic of markets.
“Elevo” comes from Latin and Italian, meaning “I elevate”. It reflects our mission to lift deep-tech innovations from the lab to global impact.

ELEVO provides exclusive access to de-risked deep-tech opportunities sourced directly from world-class research centers. Our TIME Matrix and FRL system ensure rigor in selection, while our blended capital strategy reduces risk through public and private funding mix.
Our goal is to deliver outsized returns by unlocking an underexploited asset class: deep tech. While timelines may be longer than traditional VC, risk is mitigated through early de-risking, diversified portfolios, and non-dilutive capital leverage.
We de-risk ventures at three levels:
1. Scientific maturity (TRL validation).
2. Market demand (IL and buyer interest).
3. Founding readiness (team and execution capacity).

We partner with your Technology Transfer Office (TTO) to identify promising projects early, co-develop spin-offs, secure funding, and create commercialization pathways that extend your capacity.
