The Neutrino Donut, LLC is working with Launch Tennessee on assisting startups with SBIR processes.

Homepage

The Neutrino Donut is a consultancy with a focus on technology commercialization. Our focus is on managing the development process for startups, understanding the use of grant processes, business development, and fundraising programs via Angel and Venture markets. We have worked with startups in all aspects of the development lifecycle. We have an extensive understanding of the ecosystems for universities, startups, grant programs, and global projects. We provide consulting services for partners as well as our own clients.  We have been CEO and senior management in multiple startups – the result of the process is income.

In this process, we have completed over 300 technology assessments and over 250 business development projects in innovative technologies over the last ten years for domestic and international clients, including universities and startups.  A full list of recent projects is contained on The Neutrino Donut site.  We are a founding member of the Texas Global Health Security Innovation Consortium (TEXGHS).

We have completed multiple programs and implemented processes for evaluation of technologies and demonstrated commercialization paths for execution.  We have conducted technology assessment projects for multiple players in the marketplace on behalf of NIH, NSF, DoD, DoE, and other government agencies. We have been a member of grant review panels for NIH and DoD and provided services in the evaluation of technologies and budget processes.

We provide a full-service review of the SBIR process for our clients. The process starts with the definition of the project and a review by program management. We work with the research groups on their role, budgetary costing processes, and the development of a commercialization plan. We have developed commercialization reports in support of SBIR Phase 2 Grants. These projects varied from writing the full report for the grant, consulting on the writing of the report, creating product and customer definition and the resultant revenue models as well as managing letters of support from identified partners.  We have been successful in identifying partners and processes for market entry and the management of these steps through the SBIR process. We have developed licensing strategies with universities and external parties, providing research on product models and royalty processes.

We have provided fundraising services with external angel and venture groups. We worked with these groups in developing presentations, highlighting discussions on the project, the asks, and the long-term plan. We connected these startups with multiple groups who evaluated the companies for fundraising. The use of the SBIR process is key to this process – technical and financial validation is key to understanding the success of the next steps.

Our international projects included being a senior member of teams responsible for commercialization of entrepreneurial efforts in Hungary, India, Korea, Mexico, Portugal, Chile, Ukraine, Russia, Qatar and other countries. 

We have delivered commercialization services and training programs for domestic and international clients.

We are interested in working with your organization to expand the resources available to you for commercialization of technologies.

The Neutrino Donut is working with a group of companies seeking funding from the EPA on nuclear and other energy technologies. We will be providing services to identify markets, development of commercialization plans, and overall consulting.

The Neutrino Donut recently completed a commercialization plan for a COVID-19 technology for a RADx grant. We recently received confirmation the grant was approved.

The Neutrino Donut has completed two commercialization reports for a client in the industrial technology space. We developed business models, market analysis, and revenue plans as part of the report.

The Donut is currently working on multiple projects for market development and commercialization as part of SBIR programs. The projects include reaching out to industry players in each area, developing a commercialization strategy, and the writing of the commercialization report for the grant process.

These projects include:

Optical Quantum Networks

Photon Detectors

3D Bioimaging for Agriculture

Solid State Polymer Electrolytes

Avalanche Detection

Scalable Computing Systems

Solar to Hydrogen Generation

Crystal Diamonds

Down Hole Drilling

CO2 Recycling

Water Sensors

I would like to introduce you to the Texas Global Health Security Innovation Consortium (TEXGHS) and invite you to our virtual launch event on Tuesday, October 6 at 10AM CDT.

The Texas Global Health Security Innovation Consortium (TEXGHS) will work toward pandemic readiness, response, recovery and resiliency. A collaborative group of many organizations in the academic, public and private sectors has formed the Texas Global Health Security Innovation Consortium (TEXGHS). Organized by Austin Technology Incubator (ATI) at The University of Texas at Austin, the consortium will coordinate efforts to mitigate the effects of COVID-19 and future pandemics by supporting innovators working toward pandemic readiness, response, recovery and resiliency.

Austin Technology Incubator and Partners Launch Consortium to Support Innovators Fighting COVID-19 and Future Pandemics

TEXGHS is positioned to spearhead the creation and long-term success of a health security innovation ecosystem in Texas where equitable, inclusive solutions launch locally and grow globally. The initial focus of the consortium is the coordination of current resources in the Austin innovation ecosystem, and that will be followed by a statewide expansion to develop additional capacity to expedite research, development, commercialization, workforce development and manufacturing at the intersection of health security and technology.

COVID-19 has underscored the importance of global health security and the need to build more resilient communities, ready to respond to infectious disease threats and quickly return to normalcy. Many researchers and entrepreneurs are now working to address this timely need. TEXGHS will lead a collaborative and well-coordinated effort across consortia to facilitate a quicker and more effective response for ongoing and future infectious disease threats.

TEXGHS will guide coordinated efforts among members, including company participation across incubator and accelerator programs, investment , institutional research collaboration, cooperation among networks of global health security experts, representation to local, state and federal governments, resource mapping across the innovation ecosystem, prototyping, engineering, and legal and regulatory support.

We are seeking corporate partners and sponsors for our programs. Our virtual launch event will feature speakers from around the globe to discuss the importance of supporting innovation in the fight against COVID-19. The event will also highlight how TEXGHS has created a unique innovation ecosystem that brings together academic, public, and private sector partners to respond to COVID-19 and help prevent the next pandemic.
