Startup@PARC Program

The Startup@PARC program is selecting entrepreneurs and investors to create new businesses and bring transformative technologies to the marketplace.

Benefits

PARC's deep scientific competencies and extensive portfolio of business/ technical knowledge add value not otherwise available to nascent businesses. Unlike typical entrepreneur-in-residence programs — which bring in industry experts to develop and help finance specific, pre-defined commercial opportunities — the Startup@PARC Program will help selected entrepreneurs:

• focus planning and crystallize opportunities;
• accelerate time-to-market;
• enhance competencies;
• provide facilities resources, office-lab space, or operational support; and
• create unique, competitive advantages that leverage our track record in applying scientific insight to real-world opportunities.

How It Works

For those selected, PARC creates a customized plan that may include technical expertise and intellectual property, and in some cases facilities resources. In exchange, PARC will receive cash, royalties, equity compensation, or a combination of these.
