Innovation Match: Become the founder of a USF spinout

Innovation Match

The University of South Florida Technology Transfer Office is hosting an Innovation Match on Wednesday, May 14 to connect prospective business founders with USF's more than 600 technologies available for license. These cutting-edge technologies span AI, biotech, medtech, software, engineering, and more — but many of these high-potential innovations are sitting idle, waiting for the right person to step in and drive them forward.

USF is actively recruiting founder-operators, CEOs, and entrepreneurial leaders to take the reins on real technologies that have already been vetted internally for commercial potential. They’re real inventions with real IP, developed in USF labs and ready for someone to build around.

This session will showcase a curated selection of top technologies in:

  • Medical devices
  • AI/data science
  • Biotech and diagnostics
  • Software and engineering
  • Advanced materials and clean energy

USF staff members will also review the full suite of resources exclusively available to startup founders, including:

  • Co-working and lab space
  • Grant writing and funding support
  • Direct access to translational research grants (state and federal)
  • Connections to mentors, talent, and legal support

USF is looking to form at least four new startups by June 30. Will one of them be yours?
