Technology Transfer & Life-Science Commercialization
Linden Tree Innovations helps universities, research institutions, and startups turn life-science discoveries into real-world impact — guiding promising technologies from the lab through licensing, spinout, and commercialization.
Who We Are
Linden Tree Innovations is a boutique advisory practice focused on academic technology transfer and life-science commercialization. We help research move beyond the lab — evaluating its market potential, protecting and licensing the underlying intellectual property, forming the companies that carry it forward, and building the partnerships and funding that make it real.
We work as a hands-on, senior-level partner to the people advancing science: technology transfer offices, principal investigators, founders, and the investors who back them. The goal is always the same — translate discovery into impact.
What We Do
From moving a single technology to market, to helping an entire office run better.
Deal-level support for researchers, founders, and offices advancing a specific discovery.
Invention evaluation, patent-landscape review, and licensing-negotiation support to move discoveries toward market on the right terms.
Technology assessment, market-fit analysis, and clear roadmaps that gauge how ready an innovation is to advance — and what it takes to get there.
Guidance on building companies out of academic research — structuring, founder strategy, and the early groundwork that sets a venture up to succeed.
Industry–academia partnerships and non-dilutive funding strategy, including SBIR/STTR and grant positioning to fuel the next stage of growth.
Strategy and operations support for technology transfer offices themselves.
Practical, senior-level support to help technology transfer offices run better — including fractional or interim TTO support. We assess what's working, redesign workflows, and integrate AI responsibly to increase capacity without adding headcount.
An outside read on what's working, where the bottlenecks are, and how the office compares to best practice.
Streamlining the path from invention disclosure to license, and right-sizing office processes and staffing models.
Policies, templates, and repeatable processes drawn from how high-performing offices operate.
Bringing AI into everyday workflows — disclosure triage, drafting, prior-art and market scans, licensee matching — with rigorous attention to data governance and confidentiality.
How We Work
A focused practice means the person you talk to is the person doing the work.
Grounded in how universities, research institutions, and the life-science market actually operate — so recommendations are practical, not theoretical.
We work alongside your team through the messy middle of commercialization, not just at the strategy layer.
Every engagement is aimed at a real result: a license signed, a company formed, a partnership or grant secured.
Who We Serve
Technology transfer offices and research institutions seeking to commercialize discoveries and strengthen their pipeline.
Early-stage life-science ventures and the researchers building them, from first idea through company formation.
Whether you're evaluating a technology, forming a spinout, or planning your commercialization path, we'd welcome a conversation.
