Innovation: Business Mapping
The best innovation starts with a thorough understanding of the business environment within which it must shine. Business mapping answers three essential questions:
- What are the components of an industry and how do they work together?
- How do changes occur in the industry?
- Who has been benefitted the most from past industry changes and how have they benefited?
By understanding these factors, patterns emerge that help determine where to devote innovation resources. Usually, the place to invest is in the white spaces where others have not detected or properly understood the value to be added. Our analysis guides companies to those white spaces, where they can dominate.
Innovation: Invention
Invention is a skill like any other that can be applied to situations to creatively find solutions for vexing problems. Xeolux combines its invention expertise in a variety of industries to the domain-specific knowledge that our clients bring. Contrary to entrepreneurial lore, invention doesn't just happen. By combining honed invention skill with broad knowledge of current technology development, we can help you find all the potential inventions nascent in your organization. This increases the intellectual assets at your disposal to encourage partnerships, alliances, or discourage competitors.
Innovation: Intellectual Property
Xeolux can help write provisional or non-provisional patents in international or US jurisdictions to protect your innovations. By erecting a patent thicket around valuable innovation, companies can help ensure they and their partners benefit first and most. Many of our clients who choose our innovation services do so while still in "stealth" mode, to ensure that their innovations are protected before raising venture capital or private equity funding. Xeolux works with world-class inventors with deep experience in the nuances of patent filing and approval.
Engineering Services
Xeolux can provide engineering services to get demonstrations or products developed rapidly. By working directly or as a general contractor, Xeolux can maximize the benefit from building products and IP simultaneously. In addition to delivering high-quality products under tight time constraints, Xeolux-led projects are continually evaluated for additional intellectual property, potentially resulting in more and more refined inventions to strengthen your company.
Business Development
There is no substitute for early customer feedback. Xeolux personnel have decades of experience corporate business development, sales and marketing. By bringing these skills to bear on your unique partnering, distribution and sales aims, we can help you grow your company and bring your innovations into the light of day.
Fundraising
Xeolux can assist with fundraising for clients and has access to capital.
