Suncoast Venture Studio

Tech Transfer & Applied Innovation

Turn Breakthroughs into Scalable Ventures

Got an Idea, Patent, or Research Project?

Whether you’re a university researcher, physician innovator, corporate technologist, or government problem solver, Suncoast Venture Studio can help turn your innovation into a venture-backed company, without you needing to leave your day job.

We work with

License Transfer
  • Inventors with IP but no startup experience
  • Researchers ready to commercialize academic work
  • Corporate R&D teams with dormant innovation
  • Government, education, and non-profit leaders addressing systemic challenges

If you’re sitting on something game-changing, we’re here to unlock its potential.

What We Do

We’re a venture studio, not just an investor or incubator. That means we build the company ourselves. You bring the insight or invention, and we take care of the rest.

Evaluate & Validate
We assess market fit, user demand, and venture potential.
Build & Launch
Our product, design, engineering, and go-to-market teams turn your IP into a real company.
Fund & Scale
We invest directly in the venture and connect it to our early-stage fund and investor network.
Own & Share
You receive equity or royalties based on your IP contribution, structured for fairness and transparency.

You Don’t Have to Be the Founder

Many inventors aren’t entrepreneurs, and that’s okay.

Whether you’re a clinician with a workflow solution, a researcher with a validated study, or a subject matter expert with no time for pitch decks, we’ll form the company, recruit a founder, and structure a model that works for everyone.

You stay focused on your field — and share in the upside as your idea becomes real.
