Startups

Startups based on Purdue innovations continue to have a strong international impact. They exemplify the University's role as a land-grant university, provide new products to improve the lives of our global society and support economic development through job creation.

In fiscal year 2016, the Purdue Research Foundation (PRF) reported a record-breaking 27 startups founded on an innovation from Purdue research. The startups are based on patented University intellectual property and innovations. In addition, there are a number of other startups originating from non-intellectual property and student-owned intellectual property that are not included in this list of new companies from patented innovations.

The startups meet the criteria as set by the Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM). This means the new companies have licensed an innovation from a university and have funding in place, a leadership team and a viable business plan. Here are links to recent Purdue startups:
