A Proven Methodology
Whether you’re forming your own entity or licensing to an industry partner, we have a process that will help you meet your goals.
Why Work With Us?
In the past 5 years, our proven methodologies have helped license more than 20 products into the marketplace and guided investigators to spin-off 7 start-up companies.
We proactively work with the UM Office of Innovation Partnerships. While they will complete the difficult process of licensing and negotiation, we’ll ensure you’re in the best position for success, preparing you for the work that comes between first filing an invention disclosure and ultimately getting your product licensed.
"It started on the back of a napkin—an idea to bring EVDs out of the dark ages. The Weil Institute helped me secure funding through Grand Challenges. Their Commercialization team connected me with a trusted partner for prototyping. Their marketing team produced sell sheets— and a product demo! They provided me with the support I needed to prepare my product for licensing."
