2. What is NUtech Ventures? NUtech Ventures is a nonprofit corporation established to commercialize technologies from the University of Nebraska by forming innovative partnerships between academic researchers and the private sector. At NUtech, we measure our success by the number new companies and products in the market that trace their roots to the University of Nebraska. What NUtech Ventures is NOT A traditional university technology transfer office staffed with greedy clueless bureaucrats who act as “IP Police,” speaking in glib business phrases and pretending to always know more than the inventors do

3. Your Research Can Change the World  If you’re compelled to further develop your research so it can be used to help people or the planet  If you’re dedicated to working with industry to jointly develop new technologies in a fully collaborative process  If you’re committed to founding your own company based on your unique vision WE ARE TOO!

4.  Because we use our business networks to help faculty find corporate partners to sponsor their research  Because we pick up the cost of travel to scientific conferences and companies for faculty to meet with potential collaborators & private-sector partners  Because we license technologies to companies to generate income for inventors, their labs, and their departments  Because we help faculty set up their own companies and secure funding (VC, angel, SBIR/STTR) and management (entrepreneurs, business drivers)  Because we protect your ideas so that you can speak freely about your research without the fear of being scooped  Because we want to get to know you so we can help you Why You Might Want to Get to Know Us
