Accelerating Innovation
Technology commercialization is a journey that begins with an idea and ends with a "Big Event" an enterprise sale or IPO, product launch, major licensing agreement, or asset securitization. The time waiting for the Big Event can pose unacceptable risks.
- The Steel City Re TOPCAP structure is a financial technology designed to accelerate the development of innovations whose values are impaired by unacceptable risks.
- The Steel City Re TOPCAP™ structure has been adopted as a best practice by the Milken Institute and was endorsed by Nature Biotechnology. The structure reduces technology risk through crowdsourcing, and credit risk through innovative contingent capital strategies.
- All Steel City Re solutions optimize the management of intangible assets and build reputational resilience. They reduce operational risks by creating valuable processes around human, structural and relationship capital.
