We develop innovations with a purpose.
Market Need
Converge develops innovative products that are driven by customer demand. Our start-ups solve customer specific problems that are articulated to our team, so there is always a defined end-market customer.
Greenfield Research
Our pipeline of commercializable intellectual property utilizes R&D developed at multiple Ohio universities. These organizations spend over $10B annually on research resulting in innovation that remains mostly unused and under-commercialized.
Development Expertise
Engineering and product development capabilities are leveraged across our portfolio of start-ups. Initial design, prototyping, redesign, product testing and small run manufacturing are more accessible due to Converge's in-house production and engineering capabilities.
Our customers are also our development partners.
Customer Identification
Pre-identified and engaged customers mean the market
need is locked down before developing and investing in any
innovation projects that Converge undertakes.
Grant Led Purchasing
Defense Capital Match Projects provide matched DOD funding and lead to next phase purchase contracts. Next phase product purchase is automatic with no additional approvals necessary.
End-User Feedback
Our customers are our product partners, providing essential feedback and R&D capital in order to secure early adopter/purchaser status.
