Incapt Ventures

InCapt Ventures is an online hub that assists researchers in transforming their projects into marketable, viable, and socially impactful solutions. Imagine you are a researcher with an idea for how to address a specific problem, and data to support your idea. You may be interested in turning this idea into a product that you take to the market, but are unsure of how to best approach it. The process of turning research ideas into a concrete product in the market is known as technology transfer. In conversations with researchers from around the globe, we found many that reported an interest in turning their ideas into a business solution, but expressed doubt about how to best go about this process. We founded InCapt Ventures to bridge this gap, and connect researchers with the entrepreneurial resources that they need to turn their ideas into a viable business solution. We differ from traditional startup incubators in that we focus specifically on academic and professional researchers, and also in that we provide services for researchers at all levels. Our primary goal is to assist with economic and social development by connecting research ideas with the business resources they need to make their ideas a reality. We are currently in beta testing, and are developing our company at the European Innovation Academy in Porto, Portugal.
