Changing IP Commercialization

CEO is a very different role from PI.
Ahoy! Startup Studio understands that you may not be able to give all the time and attention required to be a venture scale Founder. That's where Ahoy! picks up the slack.

We combine the best parts of University Research with Venture Scale Startups to ensure that innovation makes a positive impact into the world.

Transforming Innovation to Industry
Not all inventions have an active market at the beginning. We work with scientists to productize innovation for today's industry needs.

01

Products not inventions

Inventions are great for exploration, but customers are sensitive with unique product requirements.

02

Satisfy authentic demand

Customer Discovery will tell us where industry's needs are so we don't waste our time and capital solving low-pain problems.

03

Test hypotheses quickly

Experimentation is the key to the Ahoy way. We test assumptions really quickly and make customers use paid pilots to influence product roadmaps.

Meet the awesome team behind Ahoy. We’re making life easier for academics so your research can make an impact with customers.
