Great technology doesn't market itself

Most inventions never leave the lab, and it's rarely because the science is weak. More often, nobody had the time, the market data or the industry contacts to find the company that needed it. Gleam Innovation closes that gap. We understand the science well enough to explain it to an engineer, and the market well enough to make a business case to an executive. Then we do the outreach and help negotiate the deal.

Why Gleam?

Federal experience

We have spent more than 20 years supporting federal R&D programs. He knows how federal labs and research institutions really operate, and how to work with them.

Builds the systems, not just the deals

A program runs on its systems: disclosure intake, portfolio tracking and reporting. Gleam designs and builds them, with automation secure enough for unpublished inventions.

Work directly with the founder

Gleam is a principal-led practice. We scopre your project and does the work himself. Nothing is handed off, and there are no layers of overhead.

Single-technology projects, portfolio programs or embedded support. We structure each engagement around your timeline and the results you need.
