About Us » What We Do

Anglo Scientific evaluates technologies from a wide variety of sources, including from our partner organisations with whom we have formal agreements. These opportunities typically have either granted or pending Patents.

We believe in focusing our efforts on a small number of carefully selected opportunities that:

• Have unique, world-class technology with defensible IP
• Have a big market to shoot for and there is a good chance of securing a significant market share
• Can reach that level relatively quickly and with a modest amount of investment

As such, we have stringent criteria for adding companies to our portfolio. We have typically created one new start up company per year since Anglo Scientific's inception in 2001.

As part of our evaluation of opportunities, we assess:

• The technology and IP
• The market size and portion that can be secured
• The competitive threats
• The routes to market
• The funding needs

After we set up a commercial vehicle to develop a technology, we:

• Construct a comprehensive business plan
• Manage the business through its early stages
• Raise the capital to establish the company and subsequently to grow it
• Find the right management team with market sector experience who can manage the business to exit
• Continue with an active role in the development of the company through to exit

In short, Anglo Scientific is in the business of finding technological opportunities and creating and growing businesses around them. In the process, we create value for our technological partners and the investors in our companies.
