If you're an academic founder ready to spinout your research, or a startup in our portfolio seeking business guidance, MassVX can help. The first-in-the-nation, statewide program curates talent matches between academic innovators and business development experts to expedite the translation of research to the market.
MassVX fills a gap for most academic innovators who have not yet developed a vetted business network. We draw from our deep network of business development experts--or entrepreneurial champions, as we like to call them-- to match academic founders with the entrepreneurial champion best suited to address their unique needs or challenges.
Our network of entrepreneurial champions includes CEOs, chairpersons, venture capital advisory board members, and other professionals, who have been vetted by MassVX.
