Every start-up begins with an idea
Every start-up begins with an idea

From identifying a need to technological fruition, we know there's no exact recipe for creating a promising innovation. Too many great ideas fail to materialize because they aren't nurtured and supported at the right stage. That's where we come in. We find these promising innovations and bridge the gap between science and the market. Pain monitoring systems, ultrasound cancer detection, immunotherapy for neuropsychiatric diseases - these are just some of your life-changing ideas that we have found, build and scaled with inventors to bring them to those in need- that would have otherwise been abandoned.

Together with you, we build and scale the innovations to successful ventures that reach the patient. We do this by selecting a capable entrepreneurial CEO and surround the team with expertise in all areas, from helping to secure finance, providing advice on patents and certifications, training the team on sales, and everything in between. As we do this over 25 times per year, and have built over 100 ventures, we know the common pitfalls and can reduce the risk of failure. Throughout the venture creation process we encourage you to be as involved as you would like- allowing you the freedom to focus on your academic or clinical work while your invention is being nurtured.

As a surgeon I have many new ideas that aren’t always used, but thanks to NLC I’m now operating on patients with my own innovation. Isn’t that great?

As a physician, I lack the knowledge and expertise to start a business and don’t have the time to learn how to. NLC has this expertise, and can cover the business aspects for me so I can still focus on my clinical work.
