 NanoHoldings invests at the earlier stages, during scientific research to shepherd nano innovations from the point of discovery through primary development. We partner with scientists and universities to form startups, then serve as business and technology development partners in building these startups into sustainable businesses. NanoHoldings management secures funding and forms strategic alliances as needed with other VCs. Having co-investors is vital to sharing risk. We serve as initial management and secure the appropriate talent to staff the startup; help identify customers who will buy the products, services or technology produced by the startup, and develop the business plan and financial models for the company’s first few years.In contrast with traditional venture capital firms that form stand-alone companies, NanoHoldings does not remove researchers from the university to join the startup. Rather, there are numerous benefits to be gained by leaving the researchers within the productive, collaborative university environment.
