Campus activation

Activate your campus knowledge assets.

SpinOut U starts with two inputs: Market Need and Knowledge Assets. A university or lab representative starts by finding the campus profile, selecting Activate Campus, and completing a non-confidential intake that maps Knowledge Assets to the demand areas the campus wants to prioritize.

Find Campus Submit Market Need

Market Need

Buyer signal, customer pain, operating pressure, cost reduction, resilience, regulation, public commitments, infrastructure gaps, and corporate priorities.

Knowledge Assets

Patents, invention disclosures, research projects, prototypes, datasets, software, facilities, methods, materials, and technical expertise.

What your campus can submit

You do not need a complete company, finished product, or fully packaged license.

SpinOut U is designed to discover usable ingredients earlier and route them into demand-aligned opportunity packages.

IP + technology

Issued patents, pending patents, invention disclosures, technical methods, materials, formulations, devices, software, algorithms, and lab-scale systems.

Research + expertise

Faculty research, PI expertise, postdoc work, graduate research, student projects, theses, publications, domain knowledge, and translational insight.

Data + facilities

Datasets, models, specialized equipment, testbeds, research centers, lab capabilities, field sites, prototyping capacity, and measurement infrastructure.

Teams + pathways

TTO staff, I-Corps teams, innovation offices, venture centers, student builders, entrepreneurs, operators, funders, deployment hosts, and corporate design partners.

Select demand areas

Choose 5–10 market-pull channels.

Pick areas aligned with campus strengths, corporate relationships, local industry, research priorities, or strategic initiatives.

Public Available Technologies

Technology summaries explicitly listed for licensing or collaboration. Likely starting universe: 35K–55K.

Public Patent Assets

Patents and applications tied to universities, labs, hospitals, and federal agencies. Likely universe: 100K+, but noisy.

Research Capability Assets

Facilities, labs, researchers, centers, datasets, prototypes, equipment, and software. Likely universe: tens of thousands, but not always license-ready.

Knowledge Network

Find your campus or lab.

Search the mapped source profiles, select your campus or lab, then activate the profile. The questionnaire appears only after a source is selected so the intake is already tied to the correct Knowledge Network card.

Campus / lab name
