Programs to assist companies obtain early commercialisation funding

Early commercialisation funding permits companies to complete their R&D, structure their business activities, and to establish sales in at least one market.

Typical sources are Government grants, debt, and angel (private equity) investment.  A strategic alliance or joint venture with a major company may also provide these resources.

Such funding is not usually easily obtained.  Typical success rates for major government grants and private equity are around 5%.

Pyksis provides programs which can dramatically improve these success rates, for eligible companies, through sound preparation, targeting the right sources, and good negotiation.  These programs work very well with the leading graduates of the Pyksis business case building programs.

Such programs:

• help government and industry agencies leverage their strategy funding inputs through the generation of multiples of other funding
• help good companies advance that would otherwise be stuck.
