$10,000 grant for a Stage II SBIR Commercialization Plan from the State of Minnesota

Venture Isles has been selected by the Minnesota Department of Employment & Economic Development (DEED) to assist Minnesota based companies to prepare a Stage II commercialization plan.  This section of the grant application is heavily weighted by grant decision-makers.

Scientists may not have the business background to be effective partners in visualizing patent claims with the most marketplace value.  We help principal investigators search the scientific literature for prior art and to build bullet-proof data packages.  This results in higher quality patents and lower patent attorney costs.

Choosing the right scientific team for your research project is time consuming and benefits from experience.  We recruit and screen principal investigators and team members from the world's best for applied research and open innovation projects for industry, start-ups and governments.

The inventor is the first champion. Many others are needed both internally and externally to advocate for funding the patented invention.  We help early champions build a solid business case that is engaging and easy to communicate to people who do not have a technical background but who can help advance the technology.  Tactics range from writing a 30-second elevator speech to an integrated marketing campaign. Investment $8,500-$25,000 plus media & expenses.
