Partners

We serve researchers who are looking for a trusted, publication-friendly partner to help mature and translate their innovations, as well as companies that need validated prototypes and de-risked technologies ready for commercialization. We also support investors seeking robust, hardware-validated deep tech opportunities with clear potential, and universities and academic institutions aiming to strengthen the pathway from research to real-world impact.

For Investors

While we are not an investment vehicle, Piezofabrik focuses on producing what investors value most in early deep-tech opportunities. Our teams work closely with technical founders to deliver technically validated hardware, clear and transparent TRL progression, and well-structured commercialization plans. We specialize in creating independent, clean cap table spinoffs that are ready for due diligence and scalable growth. Our portfolio effect improves deal quality and visibility without interfering in ownership, helping investors access de-risked, high-potential opportunities.

  • Technically validated hardware
  • Clear TRL progression
  • Independent, clean cap table spinoffs

By standardizing processes and documentation across projects, we make it easier for investors to compare opportunities, understand risk, and deploy capital with confidence.

For Academic Institutions

Piezofabrik strengthens the pathway from research to real-world impact by partnering closely with universities and research institutes. We respect and work within institutional IP policies, ensuring that technology transfer offices retain clarity and control over rights and obligations. Our structured approach increases the rate of successful spinoff formation by supporting founders with market validation, business design, and early operational setup.

  • Respecting institutional IP policies
  • Increasing successful spinoff formation
  • Reducing administrative and legal friction

By standardizing templates, processes, and governance models, we help reduce administrative and legal friction for both researchers and institutions, enabling more research outcomes to reach industry and society efficiently.
