Innovation Dashboard
Ecosystem platform for state innovation programs
The idea
A platform that connects entrepreneurs, university researchers, and state administrators with innovation resources, intellectual property licensing, SBIR tools, and guided pathways. The goal is to make a fragmented ecosystem navigable, so the people building new things can find the support that already exists.
Currently in a feasibility study phase, exploring the architecture and scope needed to serve multiple user types with very different needs and workflows.
Estimated scope
What it would include
Resource & IP Licensing
Searchable directory of innovation resources with intellectual property licensing workflows for university-generated research.
Guided Pathways
Step-by-step guided flows for entrepreneurs navigating SBIR applications, funding opportunities, and state programs.
Real-Time Collaboration
WebSocket-powered collaborative features letting multiple users work on shared resources simultaneously.
Admin Workflows
Event management, user administration, feature flags, and PDF report generation for program administrators.
