Licensing with CU Boulder

Businesses can access CU Boulder’s proprietary innovations through license agreements with the university.

We benchmark our licenses nationally to ensure our deal structures are business-friendly and below market average, positioning your company to succeed.

We can be flexible on many terms within a license agreement to ensure it aligns well with your company’s needs and with the specific technology being licensed.

Accelerated Technology Partnerships

Your company or startup might be eligible for matching funds to advance a licensed technology.

Once you have identified one or more technologies in our database that you would like to license and bring to market, you can apply for matching funds of more than $100,000 to further develop the technology within the innovator’s lab.

Contact Nicole Forsberg to verify if this project is eligible for matching funds.
