Startup Support
Startups can be an exciting and rewarding path to commercializing innovation. Partner with our experts to navigate the course.
Startup Support
The Office for Research (OfR) works with Rutgers innovators to evaluate the potential for a startup as a vehicle to bring innovations to the market. If a startup option is selected, the OfR's New Ventures team assists innovators with the planning and development that lead to a spin-out of the innovation. They provide mentoring, access to early-stage seed funding, support in obtaining dilutive/non-dilutive funding, assistance with product and business development, and connection to industry and potential business founders.
New Jersey Innovation Hub
The New Jersey Innovation Hub at the New Jersey Health + Life Science Exchange (HELIX) will be an innovation center providing businesses, universities and researchers critical space to work, learn, experiment and collaborate. State-of-the art laboratories, offices, work and learning spaces will come together in the first, 12-story, building to foster research, treatment and business breakthroughs.
