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.

Contact SRI's Ventures, Licensing, and Strategic Programs team to explore new opportunities.
