About TechAccel
TechAccel funds translational research projects that are designed to de-risk promising technologies for which a proof of concept has already been demonstrated. TechAccel partners with universities and researcher/inventors to design and execute highly focused research projects that advance the technology to key milestones on the path to commercialization.  Successful outcomes increase the value of the technology, and may lead to licensing, or in the formation of a new company.
