SBIR/STTR Award attributes
The proposed project is to conduct research on a personality-matching software program that will encourage an alignment of scientific, personal, and business goals between academic professors and the execution team that is spinning out the technology. Importantly, the tool will be agnostic to industry, and will allow cross-cutting matches of entrepreneurial leaders with inventions at different universities/research labs across the US. An integrative model of the entrepreneurial team formation process will be utilized to structure teams within universities based on known behavioral and compatible entrepreneurial traits, suitable for academics. Team formation will be seamlessly coupled with company formation and other small business operational tools, ultimately leading to the dual-use high-risk fundraising modules through OmniSync's TurboSBIR and TurboSTTR software platforms.
