A consistent first look
Every disclosure goes through the same four phases and the same scoring, so ideas can be compared on the same footing.
For universities and tech transfer offices
Give every promising disclosure the same rigorous first look.
Researchers arrive at spinout conversations with a tested problem, a chosen solution and an evidence-marked venture plan, so your team spends its time on judgement, not on first drafts.
Before and after
The same disclosure, two first conversations.
Without Xinovates
- A technology description, but no defined customer problem
- Market size quoted without a source
- Each case reviewed in a different format
- Weeks of back-and-forth before a real discussion
With Xinovates
Problem briefChosen solution3 assumptions to test12-part plan
- A tested problem, with the person who has it
- Every claim marked as sourced, assumed or unchecked
- The same structure and scoring for every case
- The first meeting starts with judgement, not drafting
What it gives your office
Consistent, comparable, and easy to review.
Researchers who arrive prepared
Academics learn the venture questions investors ask by working through their own idea: customer, problem, market, money and risk.
An evidence trail you can check
Every claim is marked as backed by a source, an assumption or not yet checked, so reviewers know where to push.
Run a pilot
Three steps to see if it fits your office.
- 1
Choose a small cohort
Pick a handful of recent disclosures or researchers who are thinking about a spinout.
- 2
Researchers run their journey
Each works through Discover, Define, Develop and Deliver, making their own decisions along the way.
- 3
Review together
Your team reviews the plans and evidence with the researchers, and decides what to take forward.
Data and confidentiality
Your projects are stored on Xinovates' own server. To produce results, the text of your project is sent to AI model providers through OpenRouter. While the platform is in testing, please don't enter confidential information. For a pilot, we agree data handling with your office in writing.
Built on innovation research
Xinovates is grounded in the STIP model of innovation and the Innovation Readiness Level (IRL), developed through our founder's work with deep-tech ventures.
