At any given moment, Spencer Trask is incubating numerous early-stage companies and as they grow, their need for world-class participants becomes more vital. Many companies have technical challenges related to their products or service offerings that need resolution from knowledgeable scientists and engineers. While specific technical knowledge often helps, many challenge solvers come from outside the industry and bring a new perspective to the problem.
Working closely with its portfolio companies, Spencer Trask identifies these needs and translates them into challenges that are posted on the Spencer Trask Ventures, Inc. website. In addition, technical challenges are posted with InnoCentive, the world’s largest problem solving marketplace and a Spencer Trask portfolio company.
Winners of challenges receive awards in the form of cash or warrants to purchase equity in early stage companies.
