Organizational Overview

The Commercializer, LLC is a strategic consulting firm focused on connecting researchers, technologists, educational institutions, and companies in underserved communities who are often times excluded from new and routine opportunities with the resources necessary to sustain and grow.

them grow, sustain and transform: whatever it takes

to leverage, scale and monetize their intellectual assets and reach their strategic goals.
