57Lab Technology Commercialization

Technology Scout • Business Architect • Commercialization Partner

Some Technologies Arrive
Before Their Markets Do.

Extraordinary technologies can remain commercially underdeveloped for years—not because the science failed, but because the market, supporting technology, economics or application had not yet caught up.

57Lab looks for those opportunities.

We identify promising technologies, explore applications beyond their original purpose, evaluate present-day commercial potential, architect businesses around the strongest opportunities, and help assemble the people and organizations capable of bringing them to market.

The Commercial Imagination Gap

A breakthrough technology and a successful business are not the same thing.

An invention may be technically extraordinary yet have little commercial potential. Another may have been developed years ago for a specialized purpose while its greatest market had not even been created.

New developments in artificial intelligence, robotics, advanced computing, sensing, communications, manufacturing, healthcare and other industries can change that equation.

57Lab looks at technology through a different lens:

What can this become today that may not have been possible when it was created?

Market First

Great technology does not
guarantee a great market.

Every opportunity must survive commercial scrutiny.

  1. 01Who buys it?
  2. 02What problem does it solve?
  3. 03Why now?
  4. 04Is the market large enough?
  5. 05Can customers be reached?
  6. 06Can a viable business be built around it?

If those answers aren’t compelling, we move on—regardless of how impressive the technology may be.
