Why this is for you
Vetted Chula IP
Patentable research curated by CU Innovation Hub — you skip the cold technology search.
Matched with a researcher
Phase 1 pairs you with a faculty inventor based on sector fit and working style.
Intensive bootcamp
Phase 2 is operated by CU Innovation Hub — proven methodology, sector-fit mentors, investor-grade outputs.
What you bring
Operational expertise — commercial, GTM, fundraising, ops. You do not need technical depth in the underlying research; your matched co-founder is the subject expert. You do need conviction, time, and the ability to lead a founding team.
What you get
Equity in the venture
Split is negotiated directly with your matched researcher, guided by program norms.
Mentor access
20+ curated mentors — Thai investors, founders, IP specialists.
Investor introductions
Demo Day @ Chula IP Expo plus structured 1-on-1s through the Matching Zone.
The matching process
Phase 1 begins with the Researcher Workshop and runs through Matching Day. You meet the inventor pool, signal interest across sectors, and CU Innovation Hub facilitates structured pairing. Final teams are confirmed by end of Phase 1 and proceed into the Bootcamp together.
