Method
How we turn research into ventures
Novainvent's value isn't code or prototypes — it's curation, framing, validation, and option-creation. We've built a systematic method for converting frontier research signals into investable venture options.
Core system
The Braindump
At the heart of Novainvent is a living document we call the Braindump — a structured state vector of every venture in our pipeline. Each project is tagged, classified, and connected to related ventures, creating a knowledge graph that grows with every insight.
Think of it as a kaleidoscope: all the fragments of knowledge already exist. But rotating the lens — changing the question, the goal, or the perspective — reveals new patterns and connections that no linear document ever could.
This is more than a metaphor. In representation learning, this is called projection — same data, different latent representation, new structure visible. Our method makes this process systematic and repeatable across 58+ ventures simultaneously.
Venture state model
Signal
A research paper, patent, or market shift triggers a new entry. Raw, unframed.
Concept
Framed in business language. Problem, solution, market, and technology clearly articulated.
Validation
Building proof — technical feasibility, partner interest, grant applications, early IP.
Pilot
In-market with real partners. Revenue model tested. IP filed or protected.
Option
Ready for monetization: license, co-found, spin-out, advisory equity, or IP sale.

Value creation
How venture options create value
Each option has value because it's grounded in frontier tech, framed in business language, and can be picked up by someone else. This opens multiple monetization paths:
Licensing
Technology and IP licensing to established players
Co-founding
Equity partnerships with domain experts
Grant leadership
Vinnova, ALMI, EU Horizon — proven track
Advisory equity
Strategic guidance in exchange for ownership
Studio fees
Innovation consulting and venture design
Spin-out equity
Building companies without cash investment
Frontier research
Domains we track
AI & Machine Learning
LLMs, agents, computer vision, pose estimation, multimodal analysis
Biomechanics & Sport Science
Motion capture, kinematic analysis, digital twins, injury prevention
Advanced Materials
Graphene, organic electronics, printable circuits, nano-composites
Sustainability & Climate
Circular economy, emissions modelling, clean energy systems
Sensors & IoT

Infrastructure
Built on modern foundations
Our ventures share a common technical backbone: Next.js on Vercel for frontends, Supabase (PostgreSQL) for data, GitHub for version control, and Python/FastAPI for ML services. Low cost, high scalability, full control.
