Challenge
Institutions, ecosystems, and investors face the same systemic blind spots.
​​
‣ Ecosystem builders (universities, accelerators, government programs) often push founders into the wrong playbooks — SaaS logic for deep tech — resulting in 90%+ failure rates before commercialization.
‣ Policy makers and funding bodies deploy billions into grants and innovation schemes, yet most resources are wasted because programs optimize for quantity of applications, not quality of outcomes.
‣ Investors see groundbreaking science but can’t assess fundability or realistic timelines. As a result, they either avoid early deep tech altogether or back projects with misaligned expectations.
Current System Limitations
‣ Accelerator programs prize speed and visibility;
they generate pitch decks, not capital architectures.
Two out of three never hit scope, time, or budget.
‣ Generic consulting is financial-first:
valuation logic, lean iteration, and static templates
that ignore TRLs, regulatory cycles, or industrial integration.
‣ Investor scouting tools focus on deal volume rather than scientific feasibility,
leaving due diligence shallow and high-risk.
The result:
ecosystems fill with unfundable ventures,
while investors waste time and capital on projects that cannot survive.
Our Reponse
Arise Innovations provides a system, not a patchwork —
giving institutions and investors a science-first framework to
select, shape, and scale the right ventures.
