Together, we’re using technology to accelerate profits, create shared value, and to serve humanity.
We operate much like an incubator with core focus on commercialization of new technology. We identify needs and opportunities where technology could have a tremendous impact, transforming business practice and improving the lives of people. Once we determine the viability of an innovation, we apply research, analysis and business planning to develop and implement it. Our core business focus is making financial return to investor and contributing to social issues.
As a conventional and philanthropic capital partner, we work with innovators, investors and philanthropist, expanding access to intellectual property, actionable knowledge and to the capital in the form of conventional, philanthropic, grants, and donations. Investments are evaluated in terms of need, feasibility and long-term business sustainability. Our focus is to optimize efficiencies to save money, energy, and materials.
