Emory University will now use FD Venture Farm to manage its commercialisation efforts. The software will allow Emory’s technology transfer office to more easily keep taps on its projects and initiatives.
Emory is expecting the software to be fully implemented and ready to use by the end of 2014. The software-as-a-service is marketed at tech transfer offices, incubators, accelerators but also at large companies and industry associations.
Credited public accountant and advisory firm Frazier and Deeter set up FD Venture Farm in 2013.
Todd Sherer, associate vice-president of research administration and executive director at Emory’s tech transfer office, said: “FD Venture Farm has developed a unique and leading edge platform that is ideally suited to our needs. The FD Venture Farm Platform will allow us to private-brand an Emory online ecosystem which we can fully control, manage and scale. The platform will allow us to manage entrepreneurial ventures while allowing our experts and guests an efficient process to learn about and engage with these technologies.”
