While universities sit on $80B+ in untapped research potential, FirstIgnite is using AI to crack the code on corporate partnerships. This isn't just another SaaS tool—it's a precision engine for translating academic innovation into commercial revenue.

"They're not selling software—they're selling access to the $2.8 trillion global research economy."

What makes FirstIgnite dangerous is their positioning. Most academic commercialization tools focus on patent management or grant administration. FirstIgnite attacks the partnership pipeline directly—the most lucrative but most inefficient part of the tech transfer process. Their 70% and 350% headline metrics (likely conversion or ROI gains) speak to a pain point that universities will pay heavily to solve.

• Niche focus: AI for university-industry partnerships only
• Lean execution: $183K revenue per employee
• Strong inbound: 46% direct traffic indicates word-of-mouth growth
• Clear ROI narrative: 3x efficiency claims backed by specific metrics
