Young Guns & Science Commercialization
There is a bloated $1.5 trillion that goes into global R&D annually. Due to strong cultural difference between the labs and private industry, a majority of the science stays locked at the lab bench.
A model that include students across the globe is being experimented with that allows for market pull tech commercialization. It allows for parallel commercialization at scale. It allows for our bloated innovation capacity to be adequately met with the proper investment and entrepreneurship capacity.
Alta Ventures is pioneering a new path for unlocking breakthroughs across the energy, security, health, and materials sector and commitment to solve grand challenges with their disciplined work on advanced technologies. This is the path to an abundant future.
