ThinkVillage, LLC

ThinkVillage collapses the time between idea conception and commercialization by using the marketplace, prior to or most often in tandem with patent office review, to evaluate and then value intellectual property (IP). It uses a scaleable information technology (IT) engine and the Internet to capture and process ideas for immediate licensing to industry. A super-informed science and technology board filters ideas for the IT engine. When necessary, ThinkVillage litigates valuable IP to encourage market efficiency so that all managed IP is transacted at a fair and reasonable price.

 

PhatRat Technology, LLC

PhatRat's vision is to instantly generate and share data regarding athletic performance. The company employs tiny, wireless smart sensors that attach to athletes and instantly measure sporting metrics (e.g., airtime, speed, impact). PhatRat nationally featured its technology on ESPN and at local Colorado venues (Vail, Winter Park) and will soon sell a consumer sensor/watch system. PhatRat has licensed its technology to several well-known sporting companies, including Adidas.
