Our team has decades of experience conveying results stemming from scientific and technological research to the market place and to wider society, along with associated skills and procedures. Our relationships reach deep into industry and finance and are themselves an intrinsic part of the technological innovation process.
Technology transfer is a complex process that involves many non-scientific and non-technological factors, and many different stakeholders. Good or high quality research results are not enough for successful technology transfer; general awareness and willingness both at the level of organizations and individuals, as well as skills and capacity related to specific aspects, such as access to risk finance and intellectual property (IP) management, are also necessary components.
Sub Rosa provides end-to-end expertise across the entirety of the process.

Emerging technologies represent growing areas of technological innovation that attract capital for their disruptive, thematic or secular growth potential. Across emerging technologies, shared characteristics include:

• Significant levels of venture capital investment
• The potential to leverage technologies to disrupt existing industries, companies or socioeconomic behaviors
• High growth potential owing to strong secular growth tailwinds

Our team combines its quantitative approach with a qualitative analysis of current industry growth themes and opportunities, as well as investor sentiment to determine whether a certain group of startups can or should be viewed as a separate emerging technology vertical.

We help build  specialized corporate units that hatch new businesses by providing physical resources and support. Our role is to develop new growth opportunities for the incubator’s parents by enabling the development of small teams capable of operating in a more flexible and unbureaucratic environment, which increases the pace of their actions.  The combination of entrepreneurial activity and corporate capabilities can be ideal for fostering innovative projects and bring innovation forward to the commercial marketplace.

Sub Rosa provides several partnership pathways.

First, we can leverage our own capital when needed to bring technology to market under our own banner assisting emerging capabilities with revenue streams through licensing or royalty agreements when IP owners do not want to be directly involved in the stream of commerce.

Secondly, we can take a equity position in the IP by raising funds for the IP owner to pursue their own interests in the commercial marketplace.

And thirdly, we can form joint ventures when required to share the risk and collectively share in the associated gains. This flexibility makes Sub Rosa the optimal partner for organizations to see their innovation thrive.
