We work extensively with companies in the startup and SBIR space. We assist them in the development of the commercialization strategy and identify customers and partners. We have worked extensively with companies in the medical device, energy, materials science, cybersecurity, and many other areas. The commercialization process is extensive, but cuts across all technologies. We have developed many projects in these spaces.

SBIR programs, market entry strategies, business development projects, technology assessments of commercial products are other examples of my services.

We also work with companies who are considering the SBIR process and need assistance in understanding the process. We can share a copy of our presentation in this area.

To be effective, I am willing to work with organizations on the risk of finding the companies who are seeking to move forward.

The Neutrino Donut conducts business development projects on behalf of our clients. As part of this process, we identify contact points within organizations and reach out to these contacts as on behalf of our clients. Our clients received a validated list of names, email addresses, and phone numbers of the contacts and the results of these connections.

Over time, we have developed an extensive list of industry contacts who review our submissions and appreciate the review process completed in advance of the contact.

We provide a high level of connections for our clients.

The Neutrino Donut is partnering with a consulting firm to provide support for CDMRP and other military grant programs. These programs are similar to SBIRs, but have slightly different processes. The topic lists and focus of the programs will be different from NIH projects. It is possible, and recommended, to develop both grant proposals and coordinate the research projects.

The Neutrino Donut is working with multiple startups in the fusion energy space. The challenge will be finding opportunities for these organizations while fusion energy program achieve commercialization status, a multi year process.

The Neutrino Donut visited BIO. We found multiple opportunities for SBIR programs at universities and economic development groups. We will follow up and plan on a US tour later this year.

The Neutrino Donut is currently working on several projects relating to early stage technologies in laser systems. This is part of several SBIR projects.

The Neutrino Donut is currently working on several projects relating to underwater support systems for aquaculture and drilling systems.

This is part of an SBIR project commercialization project.

The Neutrino Donut is working on several NOAA grant projects relating to underwater tracking systems. This is part of ongoing SBIR projects.

Strategic Innovation at Porsche

Porsche has launched an innovation revolution that has been methodically brewing for two decades. When Porsche launches their first all-electric vehicle in 2019, the Taycan, it will establish Porsche as the most sustaining innovator in recent automotive history. Perhaps more importantly, Porsches innovation strategy should put the auto industry on call that Porsche will have more of the right offerings for the right buyers than any other maker.

Porsche leadership has been flawless in navigating the brand through product expansions that gained new customers while somehow keeping a cult-like following happy despite expanding product lines well beyond the beloved 911 and moving from air-cooled engines to water-cooled. Breaking down this success is an interesting peek into perfect execution across the business.

We are reading “Turing’s Cathedral” which is about the development of digital computing. The NY TImes’ review is here – https://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/06/books/review/turings-cathedral-by-george-dyson.html.

From the review – “Unlike many historians, Dyson has no need to reach for contemporary relevance. He quotes Julian Bigelow, the Maniac’s chief engineer, in a passage that could serve as the book’s précis: “What von Neumann contributed” was “this unshakable confidence that said: ‘Go ahead, nothing else matters, get it running at this speed and this capability, and the rest of it is just a lot of nonsense.’ . . . People ordinarily of modest aspirations, we all worked so hard and selflessly because we believed — we knew — it was happening here and at a few other places right then, and we were lucky to be in on it. . . . A tidal wave of computational power was about to break and inundate everything in science and much elsewhere, and things would never be the same.””

Turing’s paper on the subject, “ON COMPUTABLE NUMBERS, WITH AN APPLICATION TO THE ENTSCHEIDUNGS PROBLEM” can be found here – https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/Turing_Paper_1936.pdf.

The intro to the paper is as follows:

By A. M. TURING.
[Received 28 May, 1936.—Read 12 November, 1936.]
The “computable” numbers may be described briefly as the real numbers whose expressions as a decimal are calculable by finite means. Although the subject of this paper is ostensibly the computable numbers. it is almost equally easy to define and investigate computable functions of an integral variable or a real or computable variable, computable predicates, and so forth. The fundamental problems involved are, however, the same in each case, and I have chosen the computable numbers for explicit treatment as involving the least cumbrous technique. I hope shortly to give an account of the relations of the computable numbers, functions, and so forth to one another. This will include a development of the theory of functions of a real variable expressed in terms of computable numbers. According to my definition, a number is computable if its decimal can be written down by a machine.
