How it works
From scattered public signals to a clear next move
Seven steps turn raw commercialization data into opportunities you can act on.
- 01
Aggregate commercialization signals
Patents, federal and provincial grants, crowdfunding filings, accelerator cohorts, university licensing, and hiring activity are collected from public sources.
- 02
Place startups on a commercialization journey
Each company is positioned on nine stages from idea and validation through scale.
- 03
Calculate an explainable Opportunity Score
A 0–100 score built from weighted, visible factors — never a black box.
- 04
Detect likely service needs
Stage and signal patterns reveal needs like IP strategy, DFM, certification, or contract manufacturing.
- 05
Recommend next actions
Clear, specific suggestions on what a company should do next and who can help.
- 06
Match startups with providers
Providers are matched by specialty, stage fit, sector, and geography.
- 07
Facilitate introductions and referrals
Consent-based introductions connect founders and providers.
