1870 Ventures is a venture studio dedicated to identifying, funding, and building companies around intellectual property-backed technologies that have the potential to improve humanity. They aim to bridge the gap between invention and financial return by supporting innovative ideas, particularly those that emerge from university research. Despite substantial research expenditures at universities, only a minority of intellectual properties reach the public domain due to challenges like lack of funding, unclear commercialization pathways, and inadequate leadership. 1870 Ventures tackles these issues by applying studio talent, time, and resources to provide earliest-stage funding, develop commercialization pathways, and provide experienced leadership. They work in close partnership with leading institutions to discover promising opportunities and have a proprietary process for studio admittance, ensuring a streamlined commercialization pathway. The team at 1870 Ventures is composed of experienced entrepreneurs ready to invest and support companies during Seed and Series A funding rounds.
