FOR RESEARCH AND IP LEADERS
Give research a route to the real world.
Starshot helps research and IP leaders turn a promising capability into a route toward real-world use. We clarify the adoption problem, evidence, partners and commercial options needed before research becomes a pilot, licence, venture or deployable programme.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Useful answers before a conversation.
What is research-to-deployment?+
It is the work of turning a research capability into a practical route toward use, including the adoption problem, proof needed, partners and operating questions.
Can this start before a spinout exists?+
Yes. A research group, university or IP holder can begin by clarifying which route is strongest.
Do we need to disclose confidential IP?+
No. A first conversation can use only the information needed to assess the route.
