The ScaleIP Story

ScaleIP was co-founded in 2022 by Mark Leonard and Lucas Laughlin during their Ph.D. program at the University of Colorado.

While buried heads-down in academic research, they stumbled upon a significant challenge - and opportunity.

A wealth of innovation is stuck on shelves in labs, universities, and companies with nowhere to go. The process of finding commercial partners in the market is too onerous. The next life-changing idea of our time could already be created, but without getting to market, it’s just an idea.

The co-founders joined I-CORPs to learn how to help. Armed with what they learned there, they built a company to help organizations transfer technology to society and scale the IP industry.

Recognizing IP as an underrated asset class, the ScaleIP Team launched a category-defining product with the goal of unlocking $100B in IP value.

As an ICORPS organization, ScaleIP is uniquely positioned to respond to the specific needs of the TTO community. Founded by academics passionate about widening the TTO bottleneck, this platform is being built with your input.

We joined the I-CORPS program to learn how to bridge the gap between IP untapped supply and the market. With support from CU Venture Partners, ScaleIP was established. Now, we’re leveraging technology and data to assist organizations in transferring technology to society.
