Spin-Off Ventures
Business Week dubbed SRI "Spin-Off
City" - an innovation engine that creates new spin-off businesses
to capitalize on technology developed at SRI and move it into the
marketplace. Working with top-tier investment and venture capital
firms, SRI and our subsidiary Sarnoff
Corporation have formed about two dozen new ventures. Through
"nVention", our innovative model for
engaging VCs at the earliest stages of the venture creation process,
we nurture technology and business concepts to create funding opportunities.
SRI also provides R&D resources to portfolio companies, helping startups minimize risk and the cost of building an R&D infrastructure and team. We can also serve as an independent technology expert during the due diligence process.

Ventures, Licensing, and Strategic Programs
