-
Any industry is acceptable, but with a priority focus on ICT, biomedical, industrial and manufacturing, geomatics, and clean tech
-
A novel, platform technology with the potential for multiple revenue streams and recurring income
-
A strong market opportunity, large enough to attract outside investors in future financing rounds
-
A significant and defendable competitive advantage
-
A dedicated entrepreneur or inventor who is fully committed to growing the opportunity on a full-time basis, OR a researcher who is prepared to serve in a meaningful role in the company until it becomes self sustaining
