Investment thesis
Operating as Mayo Clinic's front door to business, the group catalyzes innovation across the technology commercialization lifecycle: protecting and developing intellectual property and funding technology; launching and growing companies through licensing, startup formation, and equity investment; and partnering and scaling via strategic collaborations, mergers, and acquisitions. Returns generated flow back to Mayo Clinic to support its clinical practice, education, and research. The focus centers on transforming health and medicine by bridging industry and commercial groups and turning science, data, and human ingenuity into solutions for complex health challenges.
