TechAccel’s founders knew from firsthand experience that good ideas don’t always make it across the finish line.
Often ideas are stranded – either in research labs when federal funding falters, in emerging companies when equity isn’t available, even at global industrial firms when priorities shift and promising innovations are left on the shelf. Think of No. 11 on the list when the R&D funding extends only to No. 10.
The TechAccel model was formed to bridge the gap. TechAccel makes equity investments or licenses the technology, and then launches science advancement initiatives to push the technology forward. Often, the science advancement led to “extra shots on goal” by adapting technology for an adjacent market.
