Brown Technology Innovations has announced the launch of the Brown Deep Tech Impact (BDTI) Fund to support the formation and growth of pre-seed companies built on breakthrough research and technological innovation emerging from Brown University.
“The launch of the Brown Deep Tech Impact Fund marks a defining step forward in how we bring breakthrough research from initial scientific discovery to venture creation,” said Greg Hirth, the University’s vice president for research. “By pairing up to $100,000 in early-stage capital with tailored industry mentorship and project management, BDTI will aim to empower Brown’s innovators to build high-impact technologies and investable startups across a wide range of vital fields. We are eager to see the ground-breaking innovations this initiative will unlock.
BDTI will provide strategic, monetary, and advisory support for well-defined research projects which includes, but is not limited to, the funding of translational research projects, advising from an independent panel, and exploring commercial development opportunities.
