Your best marketing strategy starts with data

Your single source for data on companies and contacts

Stop guessing. Stop googling. Stop listening to analysts who don’t know emerging tech. Let us analyze thousands of data sources, summarize it all, and deliver conversations with licensees.

Keep your technology in front of licensees at all times

It’s only possible with consistent, active marketing

Our active marketing keeps your technologies in front of potential licensees where they spend the most time, in their email inbox and on LinkedIn. Our active marketing will keep your university top of mind for licensees.

Let us handle the hard part

Our marketing campaigns are world class.

After getting you set up on our system, our active marketing campaigns use custom scheduling links for each one of your technologies, that maximize the number of meetings booked for a technology.
