Venture Building

Outstanding technologies from research organisations rarely emerge shelf-ready for investment:

Scientists excel at breakthrough discoveries and rigorous validation, but this represents only one pillar of what makes a successful critical technology company.
RFC Ambrian build the remaining two essential pillars: Industry Relevance and Commercial Nous, transforming promising research into valuable, self-sustaining businesses.
Through strategic corporate partnerships we reinforce industry relevance, derisk non-core technology components and accelerate path to market.

What is a Venture Build?

A Venture Build is the process of taking an outstanding piece of science and building a fully formed company around it. Everything from the ground up, business model, partners, governance and team - individually built to take that technology to the market it has been created to serve.

Australia punches well above its weight on invention and research. Scientists, researchers, and innovators who are developing exciting technology that can, and do change industries.

The problem? There is a gap between research and commercial success. Being world class at inventing something and running a world class business are two very different skills sets. And that’s ok.

At RFC Ambrian, we bring together the pieces that turn great science into great business. We work alongside scientists and innovators, bringing the business acumen and the commercial know-how so that the people who had the brilliant idea can stay focused on what they do best, without being forced into a CEO role they never asked for.

Great ideas deserve a great company built around them.
