TANDEMLAUNCH
About us
TandemLaunch works with brilliant entrepreneurs to build companies around university technologies. Our network of industry and university partners is global, extensive and very valuable to our process.
Unique Approach
TandemLaunch takes a unique approach to building start-ups. We start by identifying industry problems, then scout technologies to solve them. We then assemble a team and build a company together.
Unlike other incubators, we take pride in not only offering a large amount of funding but we also take the time to provide mentorship, coaching and the opportunity for co-creation.
Since 2010, we have created over 35 ventures who have collectively raised over $300M in capital and are valued at over $700M. We do more than just invest. We bring together industry, inventors, founders and investors.
