From scientist to entrepreneur—we build the journey with you

  • Dream it.

    Every breakthrough starts with an idea. Whether it’s a discovery in the lab, a prototype on the bench, or an insight waiting for application, ELEVO helps you imagine the real-world potential of your research. We give your science a pathway beyond academia.

  • Build it.

    Ideas become ventures when vision meets execution. Together, we form your company, secure early funding, protect your IP, and validate the business model. ELEVO steps in as a co-founder, ensuring the foundation of your startup is built to last.

  • Grow it.

    Scaling science into impact requires resources, networks, and global reach. Through ELEVO’s investor community, corporate partnerships, and international hubs, we give your startup the traction it needs to thrive—expanding from lab to market, and from local to global.

Why work with ELEVO

Many brilliant innovations remain trapped in the lab because the path to market is unclear. Founders face barriers like lack of funding, limited business expertise, and uncertainty around IP and company formation.

ELEVO exists to solve this. We provide the capital, strategy, and hands-on venture building you need to transform your research into a scalable company. With us, you don’t just publish your work—you shape the future.

What you gain as a founder

  • Through our IMPACT framework, we guide you step by step from prototype to product. Together, we decide the best route: spin-off, licensing, or joint venture.

  • We help refine your business model, validate market demand, and navigate regulatory and manufacturing hurdles—so you can focus on advancing the science.

  • ELEVO blends non-dilutive grants, seed funding, and private equity to ensure your venture has the right resources at the right time. We also prepare you for fundraising and connect you directly to our global network of deep-tech investors.

  • Your venture gains exposure through ELEVO’s international hubs, demo days, and corporate partnerships. We give your innovation the stage it deserves and open doors to pilot programs worldwide.
