Welcome to Duke New Ventures
We are excited you are interested in forming, managing, or investing in a start-up company based on one of the many ground-breaking technologies developed at Duke every year. Our team at Duke New Ventures takes pride in helping to form focused and resilient start-up companies built for the rewarding AND challenging road of a technology-based new venture.
Resources
The Duke New Ventures program is designed to provide experienced business, commercial, and financing advice, introductions to capital, potential executives, and specialized experts, and, occasionally, small amounts of direct capital from internal funds -- all to bring new Duke technologies to market through the formation of new start-up companies.
