About R.I.S.E.
What We Do
R.I.S.E. is a UK-based research-first innovation platform focused on incubating scientific breakthroughs at the laboratory stage — before they become startups.
We work upstream of traditional incubators and accelerators, supporting technologies that are still inside universities and research labs. Our role is to translate early-stage research into venture-ready opportunities, without forcing premature commercialisation.
R.I.S.E. exists to prepare science for the market — rigorously, patiently, and strategically.
How We Work
We engage with research at its earliest meaningful point and provide structured support across four core areas:
Research Validation
Assessing technical feasibility, reproducibility, and translational potential.Technology Positioning
Clarifying use cases, application domains, and long-term value creation paths.Venture Design
Shaping research into investable venture structures, without compromising scientific depth.Capital Readiness
Preparing projects for downstream engagement with incubators, accelerators, funds, and strategic partners.
Our process is not about speed — it is about readiness.
Who We Work With
We collaborate with individuals and institutions operating at the frontiers of science and technology, including:
Universities and research institutes
PhD researchers and postdoctoral scientists
Principal investigators and lab leaders
Deep-tech venture capital funds
Industry R&D and innovation partners
Public and government-backed innovation bodies
R.I.S.E. serves as a bridge — connecting research, venture creation, and capital — while remaining firmly rooted in scientific integrity.
