Office of Licensing & Ventures
Resources for Entrepreneurs
OLV staff meet regularly with potential venture capital investors to build ongoing relationships and to gain insight about how Duke innovations might link to next generation products and companies. We review all incoming invention disclosures and work within our investor network to identify startup opportunities and to create new companies.
The first step in the process is for you to disclose your work to OLV using the Duke Invention Disclosure Form.
