The Opportunity

Problem

Australian innovators cannot translate research into commercial success due to outdated frameworks and broken commercialisation systems despite available funding.

Solution

ReadyScore evaluates your deep tech against a proven Australian commercialisation framework and delivers a readiness score with specific gap analysis. The platform then generates prioritized action plans, templates, and milestones to systematically close gaps in IP, market validation, team, regulatory compliance and investor materials.

Target Audience

Australian researchers, scientists, and deep-tech entrepreneurs attempting to commercialize innovations

Differentiator

Based on a proprietary framework developed from analysis of over 200 Australian deep tech commercialisation journeys, continuously improved with new market data from grants and startup outcomes.
